black burb
i wanted black chrome vinyl but 3m stopped it due to QC related issues.
so decided to do black brushed aluminum for something different

Sounds cool, black paint definitely makes it easier then throwing random black around with white paint.

Are there any factory paintable grills? All the ones I’m seeing are chrome and I’d rather not paint over one of those.

just the RST ones, they come color matched to a couple of colors



you could always try to sand/soda blast & spray a few coats of adhesion promoter before paint

Paintable ones are hard to find, there’s one on eBay that’s scuffed up but it’s $350 and I’d probably have to change out the inserts since it’s the 1 top and 2 bottom horizontal slats.

chrome can definitely be painted over but I’d rather not risk it on a tri coat paint that will cost a lot to have done.

the Spec-D one on carid was under $200

There’s this one on eBay that’s factory looking, my only concern is the mesh being integrated so I’d think it’d be difficult to mask off where the mesh meets the shell
