Default Black grill

Ok I have an 11 JKU and I used plasti dip to paint the grill black....I liked the look alot, so now I want to do it permanently....

I see most use bedliner, and I wonder why....

why not flat black fusion spray paint???

I didnt like how the plastidip dried, it was uneven, but Im sure I could do a better job...I wanted to do it quickly to see if I liked it, and knew I could remove it

Alot of people bedline their grill because it doesnt scratch as easily and still look good

Yeah the bedliner is used for ease of cleaning and durability. If you do not want the texture I'm sure a good rattle can paint would work. Personally I had so many chips in the stock paint from rocks that the bedliner was a must. The duplicolor stuff is awesome. No chips after a year and looks just as good as when I put it on.
