I prefer your stock, but I'm not a matte black guy. I'd like to wrap or paint my lower grille and fog surrounds to match my 744 Brilliant Silver; is there a plasti-dip for that?

or if you had some gloss white vinyl for the trim it would look good.

I like the blacked out grille look.

But I think it would look a lot cleaner color matched

That's what I'm thinking, but for the lower grille and fog-surrounds. Plastidip won't work for me, as I can't imagine mixing it silver. I wonder how close Krylon silver metallic is?
