    Sport grill spraying

    Hi all,
    So my question is, to spray or not to spray? Obviously I'd be spraying it satin black but I'm unsure if it'll look good or tacky. My car is a sort of black and silver theme though that's why I've considered spraying it instead of leaving it grey. Opinions? Anybody got any pictures?
    Thanks, Ollie

    They don't look good when it's stone chipped to hell though. Use a decent trim restorer.

    Well on mine I did the fog light surrounds, bottom and top grill, scuttle panel, window wiper bottom cover bitties, splitter, wing mirrors, rear bumper strip and rear wiper base/arm. Basically all the plain plastics.

    Hm, not really worth it tbh IMO. On the bump strips I just use back to black occasionally. If you've seen my car you'd understand its got black and silver all over it. It isn't just a random black grill.
    That's before the grill being fitted. It's the same as that, just with the sport grill
