This question is for the guys that painted their grilles black. Did you use glossy black or flat black. My grille surround is obviiously glossy black, don't know if I should match that or go flat. Pictures of your setup would be great.

Thanks

 

Gloss black baby!!!

Just view my threads started, itll be the second and third threads. Many pics in those.

 

Flat black

 

Satin black here..

 

x2, same here.

BTW, Zeruin...what do you do for touch ups? i.e. From rock chips?

 

Don't paint it!

Now all the options are covered.

 

lol..

btw milk, I haven't had any scratches or chips on mine yet... (2 months and counting)

Then again, 99% of my driving is in town, where the speed limit is 40mph. I imagine I would just spray down some more Krylon Fusion on the spot, and be done with it. Post some more pics of your truck Milk!

 

i dont get many chips, but thats what i do

sweet truck zeruin

 

God I Love my chrome Roush Grille, but I think I'm gonna paint it black today because I'm bored and having nothing better to do. Flat black it is because I'm going with the pro comp 7005's.

IDNC76, did you paint your headlights with the same flat black or gloss black?

 

i painted the grill / headlights with the krylon fusion black satin and all the badges too

 

Badass! Thats what I bought and I bought the Krylon Fusion Matte clear coat? Did you clear yours?? I'm in the garage right now, getting ready to put the primer on.

It's 70 degrees in my garage and 8 degrees outside

 

i didnt clear mine , i should of though

i dont do too much highway driving so , i dont get alot of chipping

i would clear it, and i would scuff up the chrome with 600 grit sandpaper also

 

Okay, the first coat of primer is on, it looks kinda neat all flat gray lol

 

same here.

 

mine was supposed to be gloss black, then when i sprayed the clear coat...it made it flat. i have no idea why either. but it is really strong so i cant complain
