I have the SHATZ grill with the big star in the middle. I used it for 3 months and have now taken it off because I am going to paint my whole grill black. I saw a couple cars like that and I am going to do the same. it is in perfect shape. I bought it for 275 and will sell it to you for 100 plus shipping if you want it.

I have a 106 positive rating on Ebay and some people on this forum can vouch for me as well. I can send you pictures as well. Well, just let me know.

laters,
Greg

I have been in the Army for 15 years now so just been in a little while. I was in Germany for 6 years and to be honest man I really really enjoyed it.

I just took it to a shop and the guy stated that he would not paint it because it was chrome and that it would peel off quickly. So I am going to go to another shop and see what they can do for me. Hell I will sand it down myself and then take it to get painted if I have to.

What spray thing are you talking about? If I can do it myself and save 100 bucks then I will do that...if it will come out good that is!!

You in the Service??

I got your email address and sent out the photos to you and one other guy that same day. It was 3 photos.

BUT.....that other guy has already paypal'd me and I have shipped it out to him. I waited for a response for you to get it first but after 2 days I decided to sell it to the other guy.

Sorry,
Greg
