matte black grille
« on: August 08, 2012, 04:13:38 pm »
Ive just bought a genuine gt grille which someone took off their car and it is matte black nott the usual gloss black. Has anyone else seen this or did some of them come like this

It doesnt seem sprayed. Defo seems like a factory job/finish. Not complaining will give it a go see what it looks like

As above, post a pic. It's not vinyl wrapped is it or paint or pasti dip? Might just peel off. :happy2:

I have a steel grey car. No its not a wrap or anything just a factory jobby by the looks of it. bumper still needs to go to the body shop so it might be a week or two before I get a pic up but ill get one posted up soon as.

That one is plasti dipped I think. You are right in thinking they should be gloss black though.
