Spraying Grill..

[Kemix]

Hello...sorry iam new to the BMW scene, not sure what you call the two chrome 'nostril' looking things on the front, maybe the grill? lol

anyway, i was just wondering how you spray them another colour, do they come off easily? and whats the best paint to use?

cheers

they are called kidney grills. they come out by removing the two top pinch cilps and pull out and up. sand the chrome area frist and paint with a high quality laquar

The first time I tried this, I only painted the chrome part of the grill, and it looked a different shade of black to the rest of the grill. So when I decided to do the cab, I did the complete grill. I rubbed it all down, primed the lot and painted with Halfrauds Satin Black.
Came up really well!

I used plastic primer on mine, just allows for a little flex in the plastics if a stone hits it. holding up well so far
