Painted my grill....again

Well I got to thinking a black grill would look better than the painted chrome grill I had. Remember when I did this?


I decided to paint mine black instead. I didn't really care for it since it seemed to be too much black and it all just blended in too much. Then I found something that brightened it up a little, so I like this look better.





I got one for the back too



What do ya'll think? Black or Chrome? I think my pink oval stands out better on the black.

Black with the pink oval. The pink "pops" better with a black background.

Looks good Patti. I've been thinking about doing a black grille also, except I want to get the chrome oval.

Where have you seen the chrome oval? I'm looking for one to finish of my black 05 grill swap.
