What do you guys think? I am still on the fence on whether or not I prefer the grill stock vs the way it is now... What's your opinion??

 

i say take it to a paint at a body shop and get done right!!!

 

Leave as is.

 

I agree with tyreek77. Go to a paint shop and have it paint-matched to your vehicle's paint. I think that would look best. If not, then just leave it stock.

 

If you're going getting it painted; have fun with the paint chips.

Right now, the plasti-dip looks kinda uneven and "cloudy".

I would do vinyl (black or flat black).

 

^ what he said vinyl is best for the grill... paint or plasti dip always gets rock chips and looks nasty after a few months

 

stock > *

 

get it color matched for sure.. looks amazing!

 

paint everything and leave the "A" chrome looking.

 

Paint chips happen due to improper prep. When I paint a grille it gets sanded down with 80, 180 grit, then epoxy primered. From here the grille just do not chip.

^This answers the statement above.

I got my grill properly painted and it's been almost 2 years now. Not one single chip on it. It's all about the prep. In my case, I sanded off all the chrome and used self-etching primer as my first coat. Then I put the regular primer, the base coat and clear. It's been holding up great. I recommend once again, getting it paint-matched. It looks awesome.

 

painting it at a reputable shop will hold up pretty well and it will look cool

 

I'll be honest, I know my freshly painted front bumper and grille will hold up to chipping better then the stock paint. Lol

You could always clearbra the grille...

 

I actually love the base stock version of the grill. Looks the best when the sun reflects off of it and it lights up

 

I did vinyl and am happy with it. It is cheap, doesnt chip, and is pretty fun to do! Give it a whirl! I initially painted it and it chipped/flaked off and looked terrible. Granted I did the paintjob myself and by no means am I a pro painter!

 

Leave the "A" chrome

 

I say if your going for the Blacked Out Murdered Look, Then yes go get that shit Spray Painted Professionally, If your not going for the Murdered look them leave it Chromed out.

 

I think if the A was still shiny, it would work better with the car. Its plastidip, so you should be able to just carefully pull the dip of the emblem still, right?

 

so much murdering going on

 

I had mine painted black at a body shop & now chipped badly. Going to buy a new stock grill & leave it alone.
