I don't see why you wouldnt be able to paint ANY grille, what's the difference in the ebay paintables?
I don't see why you wouldnt be able to paint ANY grille, what's the difference in the ebay paintables?Anyone try them? I want to know if the fit is off. If you have one colormatched, post a pic. I have the Z-71 bumper and top pad with a Z-71 lower valence coming in the mail. I need a grill before i go into paint. So how was your experience with the generic grill?
I got a paintable one. Its not off ebay but its an aftermarket one that i got from an autowrecker. It was like 100$ CDN and the fit is pretty good. The only thing thats really different is that the bowtie isnt recessed but i dont think it looks that bad. I think the ebay ones come with a recessed bowtie tho. It's supposed to be painted by monday but i know my bodyshop always takes a long time so it might be another week.Anyone try them? I want to know if the fit is off.

I didn't paint the grille, no, but it looks like paint would easily adhere with some scuffing, as for the valance it's wonderful! Not a chip on it yet *wheres the knock on wood emoticon, LoL*mine came with a cutout billet in it already. Did you paint your grill? How is the valence holding up?
I dunno about there but here most shops charge 60$ an hour and it would take 3-4 hours to sand it down smooth enough so i dont think its worth sanding unless you do it yourself. If you have the time that is.It would be a lot of work to sand that inside of a factory grill enough to smooth the plastic down. Maybe I will try a generic one. I want the whole thing painted, not just the stripe.
That was my logic, not to mention 4 hours of my time, clean up time, and sandpaper is worth moe than the $80 for a grill ready to go.I dunno about there but here most shops charge 60$ an hour and it would take 3-4 hours to sand it down smooth enough so i dont think its worth sanding unless you do it yourself.
