The avantgarde grill was powdercoated black - it's started to fade/peel so going to have the shop paint it and color match it to 040.
I have seen the same problem with powdercoat. The fade gets annoying. Other thing I was going to try was Black Chrome but have not looked at that yet. I have an extra grill from a 400E parts car we just pulled apart that might just make a candidate.

Are you going to smooth in the ducktail or apply on top? AMG applied on top of the trunk with either glue or tape but if you have seen Scott's [run.exe] silver 500E, he had his smoothed in and it looks very good.

If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers.
