Anyone source an all black grille for a 2012 E63?

SKIM3, go for it. It comes off just by rubbing it and to spray the grill it will cost you $6.00 for a can of the stuff. The pics that I post was round number two as the first job was a little rough and the second one came out smooth as if it was original.

If you watch the video from the dipyourcar guys they say to put on light coats and then get heavier. I did this with the grill and it came out rough also. I used to paint cars when I was a kid and did it the way I know how which is nice even coats. Meaning that you must make sure you get good even coverage on each coat. You will see an nice shine with each coat and this way you know that it is on even and will dry the same.
Hope that helps and let me know.

Found one for you.
Here's a picture.
The trick is, lay it on THICK... don't do a bunch of light coats, put it on heavy, let it dry, then another heavy coat.. repeat until desired texture.
I'll post a good picture of mine later, I have distronic as well.
