Hey All!

Ok, so after careful consideration (and indulgence) I decided to paint the grill black, going with the "murdered out" look I am seeking. I just finished it late last night with a few clear coats and remounted it this morning after it dried. I will be applying some polishing compound this weekend to give it some shine! I will post some picks today.
I will be assessing how it holds up against weather, bugs, and washing. If it doesn't hold up, then I will consider having it painted or purchase a black grille. Thank you all for the comments and the insight. i appreciate it.
