Hello guys!

Is there anyway to paint the grill black (Something like a spray paint maybe?) ?

I have a grey 2008 and i don't like the chrome at all.

Plastidip. Thats what I did with mine. A year later and no issues.

And great thing is you can peel off and re-spray different color any time you want

I did mine with Plastidip as well and I've had no issues with it coming off at all due to rock chips or anything. It's really reliable and super duper cheap.

Plasti dip it don't spray paint!! Plasti dip is like rubber finish it holds up rock chip very well unlike spray paint it chips easily. Or just vinyl wrap it I wrapped my with 3m carbon fiber

don't waste your money on plastidip

i tried plastidip...it sucks!!!

get it professionally painted.

it will cost much more, but you will be happy.

Maybe you aren't very good at it?

I used it on my grille and it worked perfect. A nice looking and removable solution.

If the can is cold, the paint will come out in globs and make a huge mess. Fill a sink with hot water and let the can sit in there for a few minutes before painting to get a nice smooth even coat.

I'm with the plasti-dip crowd....love the stuff...spray it on, if you like keep it, if you don't just peel it off. No harm, no foul. I did my front grill this weekend in black and blaze blue, in my mind it was going to look awesome, in reality it sucked, peeled it off, and was out $9!

I plasti dipped my grill. Also I did the emblem too but I peeled it off. I like the way the L stands out now.

plasti dip it, I had a G37 prior, and used plasti dip on my emblems and grill looked good. I'm actually
plasti-dipping my grill today :P

I got mine painted and am happy with the outcome and the idea of longevity. However, plastidip is a great idea to experiment and see what you like and don't as its removable.
Try using a glossifier after the coats of black (or whatever colour you choose) plastidip to give it more of a glossy finish instead of the matte look if you're interested.

I haven't done anything to my grille but I'd go with plastidip because if you don't like it it's easy to remove... sure spend all that money and paint but what if you don't like it later on... I'd say plastidip wins
