Sport grill spraying

[iOllieSM]

Hi all,
So my question is, to spray or not to spray? Obviously I'd be spraying it satin black but I'm unsure if it'll look good or tacky. My car is a sort of black and silver theme though that's why I've considered spraying it instead of leaving it grey. Opinions? Anybody got any pictures?
Thanks, Ollie

one of the best things I've done was painting the plastics, I used Hycote bumper black

They don't look good when it's stone chipped to hell though. Use a decent trim restorer.

I bought it last night and it has already been sprayed black looks good though, very happy with it!

You'll have to spray everything else now ...

Well on mine I did the fog light surrounds, bottom and top grill, scuttle panel, window wiper bottom cover bitties, splitter, wing mirrors, rear bumper strip and rear wiper base/arm. Basically all the plain plastics.

Hm, not really worth it tbh IMO. On the bump strips I just use back to black occasionally. If you've seen my car you'd understand its got black and silver all over it. It isn't just a random black grill.
That's before the grill being fitted. It's the same as that, just with the sport grill

^ ^ ^ My brother did his not so long ago in Satin Black and it tune out great. I think you should go for it IMO but get a decent paint!

Makes a hell of a difference I might re-do mine, i bought mine already sprayed in gloss Black an its starting to chip a little now!

Think satin is the way forward or i might test my arm in carbon wrappin it
