RE: New black grill

It's homeade. I'm not sure exactly how it was done or by who though so I really can't answer any questions on it.
I've researched doing this for awhile and it seems that if you're going to do it the best way would be to beadblast it to get all of the chrome off, then fine sand it and primer it and then spray it with some flexagent in the paint. I'm pretty much stealing this word for word from a guy who I think mostly hangs out on the other site. Anyway, that seems to be the best way so it doesn't chip off. We'll see how well this one holds up.
