Black grill

hey guys,

i painted my grill and i thought i'd share the results. i think the paint job itself looks OK....not perfect but not too bad either, considering DIY was not my first option.

bodyshops would tell me they wouldn't do it or they'd have to ask their painter, who didn't call me back. finally, a MB shop agreed to do it for at least $400 provided i sign a waiver stating i wouldn't complain if the paint came off!

anyway, let me know what you guys think. overall, i like it...somewhat.
