DIY - Black Grill
A lot of members have asked me where did i get this grill from etc. color, etc.... pics... etc.
FYI, this is the original grill. Yes, this is a DIY flat black grill done at home. With a minimum cost and a few hours of personal time, it looks great. Here a close up pic. I am going to search for the step by step pics and post them up soon.
I've had it like this for a few months and still looks goods. No major chips.
Thanks to my boy Sam for helping me remove the grill, sand, primer, sand primer, paint and paint again....

Looks good, I'm glad it's holding up so well to chips. I've heard some DIY black grilles end up chipping really bad.
