Those with Billet grilles come in!! I just got my stull billet grille in and after I pulled the stock grille out I noticed that the front end where the stock grille was is painted body color (silver).
On the instructions is says to just spray paint it black. Now did you guys just spray paint it yourselves or did you take it to a body shop and have them do it?
Thanks

You can do it your self. Here's how.
Use masking tape to outline the area you wish to paint. I painted about 1/2 in. out from the back surface. Use #600 or #800 paper. Sand until the masked area is completely dull. The notches where the old grill mounted are the hardest to do. Wipe sanded area with prep-sol or tac rag. I covered my whole front end with newspaper. Then spray with Black semi-Flat Krylon.
I orginally used gloss black paint to help ward off the bugs here in Florida,but as the bugs splattered between the bars of the grill. I had to remove the grill and repaint, so I just resprayed with the semi-flat and I think it looks much better. Good Luck ! !
