police grills, lets see yours!

[ryein7]

hey guys i am about to purchase a police grill for my oxford white 91. i dont believe it is oxford white color. so i want to not only see your police grills i also want to what different colored police grills look like (meaning if you had an oxford white SHO and your police grill is a different color, that is what i am interested in) i searched for quite a while but to no avail. so lets see em :thankyou:

if anything for a different color do black... unless you have a scheme of like red and white or somthing. other than that go white or black. my 2 c

yeah thats what i am thinking. i am sure i could get it professionally sprayed for cheap. because i know it would be near impossible to match my not so great oxford white...

I had a blue Gen 1 and had a black police grill on it. Here's a picture of what it looked like...

hey man white isent all that bad if it has the clearcoat on it still and isent faded/oxidized. if worst came to worst duplicolor has oxford white in the rattlecan and you can still do a decent job with it. but IMO i would do Black and if you already have black wheels you will be looking hot.

DAMN that is a clean car!

Yeah, you wouldn't HAVE to get it profesionally sprayed. The grill is small enough where you don't have to worry about streaks and what-not. Still be carefull with runs/drips, but those are easy enough. Mine was red when I got it...

I say paint it semi-gloss black..... will look great on a white SHO.

I used a paint called "Trim Black". I forget who makes it, but it is very good paint. The color is VERY close to the stock semi-gloss black used on the body strip. I also used it to paint the wiper arms and the mirrors.

EDIT: Here's a link to the paint I used. http://www.tptools.com/p/2208,233_SEM-Trim-Black-Paint.html

Here's a good pic of my police grille, in semi-gloss black.

Here are some pics with various grills. I could not find the picture of my car with the Police grill unpainted. I have no idea where those pictures are. :cry:

Stock grill


Homemade police grill. It is the same black from the gen I SHOs. Not the best picture.


White Police Grill.


This is the best picture I could find with the unpainted Police grill. I used it as my SIG for a while.

Black on Black with snow!

That was easy. Someone posted my car for me.

 

[firstgen89sho]

it was a mocha color, and I used proper base and clear in spray cans to paint it

 

[ryein7]

so realistically it should not be that hard to paint it black and clear a police grill with rattle cans?

 

[black92]

If you know what your doing its possable, but it wont last long.

I disagree, I think if you do it right it will most def. last awhile and look fairly good.

 

[firstgen89sho]

mine was properly sanded, primered, base coated, and cleared, using proper automotive paint.
