Painting my Stock Grill

[-=AlexXx=-]

I saw a pic of a guy who painted his stock grill to match his car. I was thinkin about it and what would i have to do it do this effectivly and make it look good. Could i just buy paint for the auto parts store in those spray bottles, sand it down to get the gloss off a bit, prime it, then spray it? and gloss over it? Has anyone done this? Anyone have any ideas?

I've been thinking of doing the same thing with the stock grille (too cheap to buy the sport grille). I like the look, but not sure of the DIY job. I'd take mine to the body shop for paint, just 'cuz I'm no good at painting.

I like the look of the body colored grilles. I thought there was a vendor on here offering them at one time. anyways saw this on ebay.....

there is a big controvery over what to do with the little chrome strip, i was thinkin just take it to the same guy that tinted my tails, fogs, heads, and side markers, and have him put the same tint over it, incase i ever want to put the V grill on i could just peel the tint right off, and he wouldnt charge me more then 10 bux or so.... for such a small job. Im thinking i should deffintly have the grill done professonally. Ill have to research it.

Alex,
get the grille painted professionally.
and as for the chrome hood strip, Jon, another member here, did a thread showing how he got rid of the hood strip. He covered it with piece of something i dont remember what, and it came out very well. You can take it off to. Search through his threads. good luck.
