Default painted my grill piano Black.

Went from the old powder coated black/grey to a piano Black color! 5 coats of black spray paint with primer dried for like 3 days, and put it on the car, super happy with the results! Tell me whatcha think! Car is dirty, will washe as soon as I get a chance.


So much masking to keep the chrome on the Edge of the grill and the lexus emblem.








New piano black color on the bottom old powder on top.

Much much better. Gives it deeper look and adds contrast.
Good that you kept the chrome parts untouched!

Here's the paint I used, I didn't want a flat black or matte black loook, so I got gloss black, would have used the paint striper but instead I just coated it alot of times so that it looks smooth all around.
