Paint it. Use bedliner or Plastidip if you don't want it as permanent. Lots of threads for guys doing this.

2 cans of Plasti Dip from your local hardware store for 6 bucks a can works great. There is a few threads on here about it.

I kept my grill Sahara Tan incase I wanted to switch back. I bought a knock off ebay grill for about 125.00 shipped. It came matte black already. I than took it to Line-x and had them use a product called Line-x Premium, it will never fade. I have been extremely happy with it
