Thanks man, I sprayed the grill with matte black spray paint after hours of sanding with three different grades of sand paper. Then vinyled the middle piece myself, but i got the roof professionally done at a vinyl shop in jersey and it cost me $200 and came out perfect.

I painted my front grille black except the out edge I left Chrome. I used regular spray paint, 4 coats and I am getting some flaking, any suggestions on a better paint to use?

Wow looks great, did you sand it down before you sprayed? The paint i used is called Rust-oleum (Flat Protective enamel) and have had no problems so far.

Yea u needed to sand it down with three different grades of sand paper, in order for the paint to stick really well to the surface.

I wish you could get a chrome border for the lower grille to match.

I like when people want to be different. It is unique, i like it. Definitely reminds of the newer Audi's though. Black wheels would look good on it as well.
