Default Black painted or rhino-liner grille???

I have a flame red unlimited, and I am thinking about either painting the grille or having it rhino-lined... I think the durability of the rhino liner may make it more attractive, especially because I think I'll ALWAYS be touching up with road damage.

Anyone have any pics of a black grille on their JK? I am trying to picture it in my head, but why imagine it if anyone out there in JK land has already done it. Thanks!!!

Oh, and GEAUX SAINTS!!!

Does Linex qualify?

Mine is Line-X'd too. I think you'll be happier with that than either paint or Rhino (I've had both Rhino and Line-X in the bed of pickups and the Line-X is a more durable product IMO).

The line-x looks great! I really like the texture to it. I'm sure you haven't had any problems with durability, right? I'd assume cleaning is a breeze, too...

Man, it does really look good! How much did it cost to have it done?

Rock chips and damaged clear coat (say, from rubbing off bugs and tar on wash day) are a thing of the past with Line-X on your grill.

I think I paid 70 bucks.

I just got a rattle can of bedliner at the Depot and it has held up great. Prep it right and seems to take a beating and still look good. I imagine its alot cheaper than getting a liner sprayed by a pro. The only down side to it is the texture really hangs onto the bugs and fuzz from drying it after a wash

So far so good, I have only had it on since July. With the cheapo rattle can route if it fades, its just a few bucks to get another can and freshen it up
