Default SS grill paint color options??

I picked up a SLP SS grill for my SS. My car is black and I am trying to decide what color to paint the grill (the grill is a 35th edition and came silver and red).

The obvious first choice is black but I thought something else might look better.

Anyone with a black SS go with a different grill color??

Any suggestions??

May car is obviously all black already and I thought maybe a silver or dark silver might look good. I also could paint part of it red or??

Thanks!!

I have thought about painting my SS grill to match my SOM paint, but I think the SLP OEM black looks too good.

Since that grill wasn't an option for your car there's no need to worry about keeping it black. I would consider making the grill red with the silver & black SS emblem or Silver with the balck & red SS emblem. If someone has something like adobe maybe they could take a photo of a car and retouch it to show what it would look like with different colors on the grill.

I would say paint it black and put red SS letters on it like you've already got on your fenders and bumper. Basically, the way they sold it.

I say do something like this, but where it is white do black and where it is black do your accent color(red or silver or such)





Yes the pushpins are white now :-)

Silver on the backdrop and black lines, or vice versa.
