Powdercoating is for metal, the L grills are plastic. An electric charge must be applied to the part, and plastic isn't conductive. Plus, the final step is to bake the part at 400-500 degrees for about a half hour. Most plastic doesn't hold up well to those temps.

I was not aware that it was plastic, i guess i never even bothered to check mine out.

What would be the best method for painting the grill? Just a regular spray paint type of application?
