Default Has Anyone Painted The Grille

I'm looking to see if anyone has painted their front grille a different color than the rest of their JK. I'm thinking about painting mine black (body is red). I think it will look good with the color scheme. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I think it would look good.. I thought about doing it to mine.. black as well.. but once i put grill inserts in and a new bumper with a winch i think it might be too much black on my front end. that thought made me reconsider doing it.

Yep. There's actually metal on the inside of the stock bumper. Probably not very functional though. I just did it for looks mainly. I'm saving my cash for a new cutom bumper....

Here you go:

I think the bedliner/ spray bomb bedliner would look great with your set up.
Yu could even do the BW flares to match.

I like it. I have a black jeep, so it obviously doesn't work for me, but If I had any other color with black wheels like you, I'd do it.

Your Jeep looks like it could pull off the black grill...there is one for sale here(maybe sold already) and I've seen more on ebay for relatively cheap if you want a factory finish.

Yeah, I'm trying to buy the black grille for sale on here but haven't heard back from the seller. i'll look at the rhino liner too. i'm debating on wether to go glossy black on the grille and leave the flares as is, or paint them all with bedliner spray...... thanks for the input!
