I painted the grill, the gray pieces on the front and rear aspec lip, and the silver trim above the license plate all satin black. It matches my blacked out head out headlights nicely.

Vinyl is the only way to go.

I prefer vinyl.

Carbon fiber vinyl is what I have on my grill bar heheh

Plastidip works good too.

I would say plasti dip, but in your case your car is NBP and I think vinyl is going to look alot better .

Plasti dip, definitely! I did paint... It chipped. Plasti dipped... Never had an issue and I do a lot of highway driving. Needless to say my hood is chipped. Grill is still mint tho!
