Painting center bar on grill

[ttheroux]

Nah, not if done properly. It'll be no more susceptible to chips than anything else on the front.

In fact, I've got chips on my hood already but grille is still golden.

I saw your video where you take off the whole bumper just to remove the grill and that is not something I want to with a brand new vehicle. Knowing me I would get frustrated and break something. I would rather mask it off in place. What type of paint did you use and did you have to scuff it? Thanks.

What about plasti dip?

Never used it but I hear that it doesn’t hold up long term.

Never used it but some people say it works fine. Since it's removable you can just peel and replace it. There are some advantages.

I used it on a rear diffuser on my coupe and it has held up extremely well. Quite shocking actually

They’re talking about the XL center bar. It does NOT come off separately like the other trims. The whole thing is one piece with the grill. Don’t know why you say it’s does please exaggerate..
