Default Painting grill need input
Ok, i'm having my front bumper and grill repainted due to rock chips. Right now the grill is painted the same color as my car, Some people have suggested i should go with a flat black the same as my berger panel.



So Should I keep it the same color or the flat black?

Definately the same color! Flat would look horrible and ruin the "cleanliness" of your car.
