Has anyone had the front grill painted black at a paint shop? i went to get a estimate and was told it cant be done because its chrome and the paint will just peal off? i have seen a couple E55's thats the grill is painted how did they do it?

Sand or strip the chrome, primer, paint.

I like that color scheme on those wheels. That's what I wanted my wheels to look like.. If I could ever afford a set.

Lookin' good!

I painted my own this weekend and it looks sick notto mention it was so easy. I can pm you what I used and my method of madness.

chawkins2001

Exactly what I did. I used 320 grit sandpaper from Home Depot, Primer from there, Black Gloss Paint and Highly Durable Clear coat from there. Just sand the hell out of the grill before hand and spray on a light coat, be patient. Let it dry and do the same until you reach your desired finish

RenntechE55

so did you just use spray paint?

No thanks on the wheels, but glad you like it !

Paint the centers black or white and it will be a huge improvment IMHO.

RenntechE55

ya I would like to paint the whole wheel black and do a white line around the rim.

your car looks like it is sitting pretty low. The previous owner may have lowered the car using the Star Diagnostics system...maybe even an ELM.

I'm not sure how you can find that out. Maybe someone can chime in. Me personally, I have always had a great technician who is cool with mods, shine his palm and your warranty is in tact along with certain questions answered.

Nice rim choice...looking good.

maybe its because the back tire was a 295/35/18 on the stock rims so it means the side wall is bigger??
