Default Painted Front Grill Black, Post your pick

I've been thinking about painting my front grill black to offset some of the white. Can people post your pictures and what was used to paint it. I really like that flat black look. But something tells me its for more than just cosmetics.

There are quite a few threads about painting/bedlining the grill, search the Show & Tell or Write Ups section. Here are a couple I find real quick.

Wow. They look great. I'll be doing this this weekend. I unfortunatl;y have to remove my bumper to do it since my whinch wont really allow for me to pull my grill off.

This is the process I used:
Pull the grill
Wash the grill
Scuff the grill up with sand paper
Wipe down with alcohol
Then spray on bed liner

Hopefully I did it right and it last a while. Good luck!!!!

It honestly seems easy enough. Like i said above my hardest thing is removing the front bumper sinc ei cant do it myself cause it weights a ton with thte whinch on it.
