My grill was black from the factory.

I think they mean they blacked out the silver trim around the grille.

Code, I'm sure you were anxious to get your pics posted but now that it's daylight how about taking a couple more so we can see a little better. Thanks

[M2Motoring]

yep daylight and close up detail shots would be awesome =)

Looks good but should paint the horizontal bars to match.

I think the black grill looks great and I would like to do that on my white Versa. How about one of you guys put a tutorial with all the steps and the suggested paint, etc. That would be quite helpful !

Thanks !

For those of you who aren't on CarDomain, I'll make this a simple cut and paste...

CodeRed and Clipsed can see fit to augment...

Posted by CodeRedVersa04/04/2007, 07:17amwell, first i got a very fine sand paper and went over the whole grille. i then washed it with a little dawn and water making sure no residue was left let it dry. wiped it down with my microfiber towel then i primed it with a sandable primer (3 coats allowing 30 min bewteen each coat). i then let that dry for an hour. next i put krylon plasitc paint on it three coats again allowing about 30 min between each coat. next i put a clear coat on to give it that gloss again three coats allowing 1 hour in between each coat. and thats it let it cure for 24 hours and pop it back in.

Additional: and Shreqboi too, didn't realize I was leaving someone out ;oD
