Plasti-dip grill
Gotta say i am pretty happy with the results. I didn't want to paint it as i wasn't sure yet if i like the black over chrome so this reversible option was perfect for me. My brother says it looks like a giant a/c vent but i really like it. And i'll smoke his brand new S4 all day. Did 7 coats of black and 3 coats of gloss.

I took it off the car to spray b/c it was so easy to do rather than peel away the excess. Plasti-dip grill-img_3934.jpg
