Painted My Grille Obsidian Black

I thought of plasti dipping my grille but decided to paint it to match my w212 colour. Thought I share a pic in case you are thinking of painting yours.

Did you strip the chrome? Did you use a paint gun?

I really like it. Did you prime it? I hope the rock chips don't mess it up.
