Painting grill , suggestions needed !
 

I have a 2003 honda accord sedan.
i have changed my rear emblem and i wanna do something neat to the front as well.

what i want to do is paint it black. but however there are few choices in my mind that i cannot decide and i need your help!

a) black out everything with black matte spray paint
b) black out everything with regular gloss paint
c) black out the grill (leave the H emblem) with matte paint
d) black out the grill (leave the H emblem) with gloss paint
e) leave it as it is and do not do anything with the grill

also! if i paint the grill with matte paint, do i need clear coat? would it ruin the shine-less effect?

What color is the grille??? I know the emblem is chrome(you will need to sand the chrome down, and use acid etching primer so that the paint will stick), but what about the rest??? Also are you wanting to do the bumper grill as welll???

my grill is stock from a 2003 accord sedan. its metallic grey sorta..

and sorry i wasnt clear on that. i meant the grill between the headlights :p

heres an example of a chromed out one
i havent really thought about the bumper grill, its just black plastic and i might just stick with it

Well i'd just save up, and buy an aftermarket grill... Or make my own mesh... The grill on mine is just gloss blacked, it looks alright, but i wanna redo it soon...

black out
 

lol im doin the same thing. Im using a satin finish instead of gloss, and it isnt flat either. I put a post up and will try to post a pic too. Its hard to tell ya what u should do since every one has different taste. Im blacking out any thing chrome or silver, all the exterior black trim pieces and front and back bumper skins, looking good so far, and am putting satin clear finish on top of all painted areas... anyway good luck...

it depends on what u clear coat it with. there is a sheen called satin, thats what i used and it didnt change the paint finish at all

thank you guys =) ill take all the suggestions and consider the best choice for me
