Default Painted spoiler grill

Anyone painted the grill on the rear spoiler?
Thought about having it powdercoated black without gloss to avoid the faded plastic look.

Yep. I hesitated about it for ages but then Lemass did it anyway and it looks great. Colour coded not so good, but black = winner :-)

Can it be removed easily enough? I thought about colour coding but agree I think black would be best...

It's a sealed unit so you can't take it apart without breaking it.
I use Matt black put apply it slightly wetter than should be applied to give it a Matt/shine to give the effect of black plastic.

It needs to be degreased througholy though to remove all traces of silicon, grease and previous rejuvenating plastic sprays etc.

Interesting stuff and something I was considering myself...

Don't worry Tom, I won't add any more to your list, might have to book the car in with again some time though.

Yeah I painted my grill body colour.

In fact I think it would look even better on a bright coloured car. Imo it fits in with the Aero mirrors, body coloured bumpers/ under sills and 993 door handles...

It definitely works on a Turbo S?

I've also been debating on whether to color match the spoiler grill. Love how the split grill on the 993 looks when color matched. Was even thinking of what a split grill would look like on a 964. Did some research and found out that it wouldn't fit. Anyone else know for sure? The next best thing would be to color match the existing grill. Found this pic on the web. Sorry for the horrible pic. But it gives you an idea of how it would look on a bright colored car.
