Default Black Grille Surround
For anyone who wants to see what it would look like on a lighter color car with a black grille surround i did mine. Just did five coats of Black PlastiDip. Nothing special done. Looks perfect with no bubbles or light/wet marks. Not sure it makes the car look better or worse from how it came but it can remove it if I get tired of it.

Same wheels. Probably just the shadows.

It looks great!!!!

I know you said you didn't do anything special, but did you use any kind of degreaser on what you painted?

Thanks

Is that true? I believe the shape of the RCF grill is slightly different than an RC350 F-Sport. No?

Not bad! It's a shame they didn't finish the rc350 grille in black chrome like the rcf though.

maybe throwing on a coat of clear would give it that metallic black look

Did you take the grill off and then spray it or tape off the surrounding area and spray it?
