Damn you Hurricane Alex... (A lil DIY inside)

Well Hurricane Alex has me stuck at home, so I thought I'd be a bit productive. I hate chrome so I went ahead and painted my grills. It isn't perfect but it will do for now

It is. I was just really bored. I painted them matte black but I still had a lot of free time so I sanded them back down and tried a matte white I had laying around.

nice dude but that white doesnt match haha

shockin330i · 07-01-2010, 03:01 AM

I'll probably paint them gloss black 2morrow once all the stores open up again...

its gona chip like a mother fucker. For 100 bucks you can get oem grilles painted in oem colors. Your car looks much better with painted grilles BTW.
