  • painting a billet grille

    i was thinking about getting a billet grille off ebay, and i was toying with the idea of painting it completely black.



    what type of paint would i use to paint it? would i need special paint since it is aluminum? i have access to a paint booth at school, so i might be able to do a better job there.

    i also have stock headlights and do not plan doing anything with them, except maybe buffing them out.

      i've checked on ebay but i can't find ones completely blacked out. there are however ones that are painted black except the front outer edges.

        well you know, there are companies outside of ebay ;)

        If anything, you could prep the surface and any good metal paint should work

            I disagree. With my car, I think a chrome grille would look dumb since I have no "bling" on my car. It's an all dark scheme. I've been looking for an all black billet grille, but i havne't found one yet. i'm back and forth between a black billet and a wings west grille.
