Was thinking about plastidip spraying it black and it would be easier to do of I could take it off. Seems like a major PITA to take off though?

I have read somewhere about the grill usually ends up really nasty looking due to lots of chippings as a result of all the flying debris. Not too sure about the plastidip, though. From what I have heard, people who are interested in a black grill will resort to look for a black replacement grill.

Not sure about how to take off the grill, but I'm sure it will be a PITA as you mentioned.
