Yet another painted my grill thread!

Shot it black with high gloss clear, all ready decided I don't like it. Going to shoot it flat black this weekend. Here's some pics anyways...

personally I think it looks great! Especially if you matched the headlights with it and painted the emblem white

thanks for the suggestion, the thing is, all the other parts on the car are matte black, splitter ,diffuser, wheel windows, lower grill and bottom of the mirrors. Kinda looks out of place with the gloss

I think you'll like it matte better too.

+1 for matte black. if there is no other gloss black on your car it would look odd. awesome fog light set up btw

OEM midnight grill is gloss black and i think it looks fine. I thought about the fact that the lower grill is flat black and would match better if the upper grill was flat black. but then i looked at it again and reminded me of an altima or accord.

Thx guys, it's only paint ..so.. easy to change, the gloss doesn't look bad, but I think matte will be better. Seems every mod I've done isn't right the first time, seems I always got to tweek it!!

Looks good! I went with semi-gloss, and left the upper and lower bars chrome to match the headlights.
