Black out front grill and wash the car

Here are few pictures of my car, i black out the grill about 4 months already and so far no chip out at all. I spray 4 times and each time let it dry for about 10 minutes so total about 1 hour job with Rustoleum satin black.

Looks great . I used same method and same can but driving in Detroit mine didnt last 2 months daily driving it . I think when drivin on the freeway kills it but i also used a aftermarket one and i think the chrome under it started to pop . atleast had oem for backup ..

Did you use clearcoat to harden the paint? Looks sweet GJ!

My home to work only 1.2 mile so..... i am not driving much everyday so my grill looks the same for the past few months. I really don't know how it was lower but my ride is kinda harsh and feel a lot of road condition compare to my W211. I guess its lower then.
