My 91 LS grille is fading and is like a light grey color instead of black.. I wasted my money on Mothers back to black and its not really working.. Could I just get some spray paint to make it black? or do i have to get it professionaly powder coated black?

any suggestions? because I really dont want to spend more than 50 bucks on my grill

on ebay the sell these kits so you can chrome out your grill. i think it looks real nice and clean and last time i checked only for $23 for all gens of the LS

Wide LS

Yeah I saw that too, just search on ebay for LS 400 and look threw untill you find grills.

Paint it but don't use gloss paint. Use a primer black for a first coat, then lightly with a light satin black or dark charcoal. My grill turned putrid grey too and I hated it.

wouldnt I have to sand it first because wont it chip and crack if i dont

Persian, I would think that yes, sanding is a good idea...but man, that's gonna be a b#@# to do with the grill. Also, even with a spray can, I would think it's kinda hard to get good paint coverage on the horizontal slats of the grill...

Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

i think I'll take it to a paint shop and see if they can do a quick powder coating on it.. I'm sure they have chemicals and what not that would insure a good job

That's cool, I didn't know that you can powder-coat plastics. You're right, professional would look best. 8)
