Hi, does anyone know where i can buy a set of Gloss black kidney grills for my montego blue coupe?
I have found plenty places to buy matt black but nowhere that sells gloss black!
 
Thanks for the replies folks. I popped mine out, separated the slats from the chrome and dropped them off at my local paint shop. Their going to rub them down, prime them with an etching primer and paint and lacquer them. Should have them back on the zed by wednesday! :D

How much are they charging you for that out of interest?

Ive used them for years, so when i asked how much it would cost they said "it wont be much". Probably tell me just to give the spray painter something so i'll slip him £20.
They quoted me £80 to paint bottom of front bumper and both wing mirrors as there is a few chips on the bumper and a small score on the NS wing mirror.
I was lucky because they were painting a black car yesterday so hopefully get them back tonight. I'll get some photo's up of the grills and the other wee bits I've done :D
 
I would love silk or gloss kidneys, but I'd hate them after a few weeks when they got chipped :(

Thinking about it though, as they are matt black already maybe the chips would not show so quickly, or so much. Hmmm...

I paint mine about once every three months, due to chipping. Keep changing the paints to see if there is a better one around - going to try the frost rubber wrap paint next week (just ordered some from frost.co.uk) will let you know how that works out :)
 
If they chip, i'll probably just wrap them or get a set of black matt and paint and lacquer them!
