devonianwalk Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I blacked mine out with some durable spray paint. Then, a couple of weeks ago, I plastidipped it and my brush guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Bedliner Honesty though a decent spray paint and some good patient prep and you can have whatever finish you want on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karmann Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Plastidip hahahahaha That's what I used and it turned out great. But if that really rubs you the wrong way, then this stuff called Krylon Fusion works really well on plastics. I bonds with them and doesn't fade, very popular on Xterras to fix that matte trim. I used it on my Lincoln's faded plastic and worked out well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used it once on old rims on my WD-21 Nope, zero prep other than cleaning it. It's actually better to not scuff/scratch it because supposedly it makes it easier to peel off. Just give it about 4 very light coats and it works great! To restore the black if it fades, I just use Mother's Back to Black, and it works like a charm. Hope it helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stioc Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I blacked mine out with some durable spray paint. Then, a couple of weeks ago, I plastidipped it and my brush guard. Got any pics? I've never seen a blacked out front grill on a white Pathy especially with the gray bumpers/fender flares. I like how mine looks stock because you can see the mesh part...but I do wonder how blacking out the grill or even just the edges/grill surround will look.

tooslowforgr Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 Looks like a pain to take the grill off ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonianwalk Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Not to hard. There are five plastic retaining clips (one is in the center just under the Nissan badge) that you will need to pinch with needle nose pliers. The grill simply snaps back on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've spray painted my brush guard several times over the years. This is the first time I sprayed the vertical rubber strips. It almost looks brand spanking new. p.s. You sound like my in-laws.
