JroCk817 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Ok .. I am pulling my grill off to spray the aluminum brace in front of the radiator black. SO i figured while that is off i might as well do the mesh. Black truck... Should I do GLOSS black or FLAT black? My wheels and ducts are getting sprayed with gunmetal grey this week.

MARTYW Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I think gloss would look good. Make sure to post some pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JroCk817 Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Should be done in a few weeks! Pics will definitely follow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hankg42 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I used flat black, but that was because I was putting a powdercoated black billet grille over it. The mesh showed less that way. If you plan to leave the stock grille showing, probably gloss would look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bag Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) Agree with Hank^ - Mine is painted a matte black. Also didn't want it too shiny behind my powdercoated inserts.

jddmj Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Flat black if anything. Gloss black would make the whole grill look like a cheap ebay knock off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JroCk817 Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Thanks for the input guys... Leaning twards matte / flat since I will be getting a billet grill eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bag Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) What would look good is a big intercooler behind the grille though here's a pic of my matte black painted grille Edited March 23, 2012 by Bad Ass Silvy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller812 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I love flat black trim on black trucks. I did my grilles gloss. They will be redone in flat this summer Sent From My GNex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
