matt black grill or standard chrome grill?

[Kisho135i]

White e92, thinking of changing to matt black grill, should i? is it better than the chrome standard one?

Where can i get and at what price?

 

[slotcars1]

My opinion is to keep it standard, Never mind the complexities of maintenance of Matt paint...

When you want to sell your chrome one, I will buy it off you OK?

 

[Kisho135i]

lol. no guy i keep all my original stuff

Black grill looks good on white, with the sport pack.

 

[Kisho135i]

nice to do the small, things that make your different

complexities of matt paint? What are u talking about? The grills arent painted.

And chrome was cool in the 60s
Sorry ZAL. lol

I gloss blacked the kidneys on my old E90, it looked really good. Tons of wetsanding with 1000 grit paper, 3 coats of gloss black with 1 day between coats to ensure they were properly dried and some light sanding between coats, and 2 coats of clear lacquer.

I can safely say, gloss black is hundreds.

As for Chrome, its making a comeback

''kidney grille surrounds in high gloss black'' does this mean only the border is black?

I think i like it this way, what you guys think?

 

[Rennzport]

yes, only surround is gloss
Problem with gloss finished plastic is that u will see scratches and finger prints, just like your cars paint

The difference btwn matt and gloss is small in terms of appearance, so i will just go matt.. We have sold 1 gloss, a few carbon, but maybe 20 matt for these reasons

 

[Scouse]

The matte black grilles will look wicked

They aren't sprayed,they are matte black ABS plastic so they can't chip

Lemme know when u are ready and I can get a set for u

I've got for quite a few guys already on the forum

 

[Nastaliq]

Come on guys, the gloss black looks sweet.

Get gloss black Kisho. The stekkies will love it!

:clap:

gloss black FTW.

I vinyled my kidney surrounds and it looks like the business, and it cost like R50 (including the side gills)
