Anyone ever paint stock grill matte black?

Not matte finish, but black...

I was wondering if you did that yourself or had a paint shop do it. I was thinking of doing the same thing, and have gotten a OEM grill to do it to and still be able to save the original.

Did you get raven black mixed in a rattle can or a off the shelf black, or paint shop matched and sprayed?

Thanks...the grill looks awesome

Have a paint shop do it. And be sure to get a warranty for the paint job. You don't want your paint dripping all over the place after rain and snow.

Do it yourself. Take a chance.$7 rattle can followed by clearcoat. I painted my hood strip.

Paint shop with factory match paint code and clear coated....I guess these other processes work, I am just a little particular with stuff like this.

I do have one question regarding the vinyl - I see you guys using it all over the car (lights, grill, bezel..etc) Is that stuff that durable? What about stone chips and stuff like that?

I dropped by my paint/car guy Saturday. He took off the grill and the chrome strip. I should have it all back on tomorrow. Will post a pic when done.

Next is the rear deck spoiler.

Then some new matte black 5 spoke 18" wheels.

Anyone have pics of a 1" lowered CTS with 18" wheels.

Incognito...is your car black? Should look badass. :yup:

Done and installed today.....Pics on a new thread
