This place is still great at spending your money for you, right ? :lol:

Sadly black grilles are off the menu for now - I have a new private plate coming instead :D

i inherited grills that had been painted gloss & in need of a makeover so removed them yesterday & 5 coats later i have a nice mixture of matt-satin
Rubbed each coat down & painted alternate gloss/matt
Got the exact finish i wanted :thumbsup:

I presume they were chipped, be interesting to see how long these last after the refurb.
 
Yea chipped to buggery , next months 1000miles Scotland foray will test them :oops:
in all honesty to remove them , rub down with a scotch pad & spray them would take 15mins max so no big deal if i have to do that to keep them looking fresh , i don't want to lacquer them as i don't want them shiny
 
This thread convinced me to part with fifty English pounds and join the gloss black kindey grille club.

Got them today. Very nice finish on them.

Ignore the BMW roundel, I ruined it with my Nilfisk... Just bought a new one from bmminiparts for £27 :cry:

A UK based seller on ebay, £49.99 delivered next day to my nearest argos store (click and collect).

There were some on there for £42.00, but they were from Taiwan and I didn't want to wait weeks for them.
