Thinking about painting my 2k2 grill
Thinking about painting my 2k2 grill
i just got the car so im thinking about what i'd like to do and i like approval before i do anything 
i photshopped a picture of my car. do you think i should paint the grill black or leave it the way it is? (the top picture is my car. the bottom one is a car from Cardomain.com that i did before i actually got my car. sorry i cant remember whos car it is)

i went by a body shop today. the estimater wasnt there but the guy i talked to told me maybe around $50 or $60 to paint the gril. not a big set back.
charlie, remember that guy augie who said he took his grill out because his uncle owned a metal shop and he was going to make a custom grill? did he ever post anything about how to take the grill off? ill PM him and ask him.
Dude paint the Hamburger also, it'll look good like some of the Lexus GS that come wit black emblems.

i considered this too when i came up with the idea of paining my grill. Pilager kind of did that to his car. he got some kind of black tape and covered up the chrome trim. go to maxima.cardomain.com and his car shold be #1 in the list on the right hand side.

what type of paint would you consider using? it would have to be something very tough because the grill wil get hit by rocks too even if the slats are relatively slim.

i like the way the chrome hamburger looks on the black grill. i dont think ill paint that.
