Painted Grill

Finally got around to painting my grill today. Big thanks for the DIY guides on the site for helping a ton. Took me about 5 hours total, which included all the drying times. Super easy and cheap, only ~$20 total. I love the look.

Was there a specific DIY thread you followed? Did you do it on the car or take the grill off? Kinda interested in doing this now...

Forgot to explain ... I took the grill off ... About 10 min total ... Taking chrome bits off was another 10-15 ... One bit of advice ... Use butter knives instead of flat head screwdrivers.

Factory ordered 2012 MB C350 w/Dynamic Handling Package
I was thinking of doing the same too.....till I found out the 2013?/2014 models come with the black colored grill as stock.
