Maybe I'll just pay a body shop to do it, should be a simple job for them. Edited July 30, 2020 by Matth5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I probably would've done the same but my budget was $0 and I had paint lying around. Hope shipping doesn't take too long! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But this is a very doable DIY job. there will be heaps of YouTube vids on how to get a nice gloss black finish on plastic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheManBearPig 2 Report post Posted August 26, 2020 I ended up getting some Grills in Chrome Black, Cost $150, really nice quality , don't feel thin and cheap like a lot of the cheaper ebay ones I think they look pretty cool, something a bit different from the Matte or Gloss Black was also thinking of trying to get the lower mesh done in chrome black also here is a few pics (angel eye just blew lol) doesn't quite look as good in pictures though also had a spare grill and some plastidip so thought id play around and tried a white border grill which I actually think looks quite sweet,what do you all think? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
