Need to paint Grille and Wheels
Hey guys,
I have a black G37 and I had the grille plastidipped but i'm noticing more and more chips on the grille and I'm wondering if I should paint the grille instead, or get it powder coated rather than applying another layer of plastidip.
Also I have the stock sport rims that came with the car and I want to paint or powder coat them black. Any recommendations on which is better for painting the wheels?

Probably on the Grille, I would paint, but you could ask the powdercoater if you can bake the powder on a plastic grille. I would be concerned the plastic part won't hold up in the oven. Regarding the wheels, I would go powder.

I used to powder coat... our grill would melt down on the hangers in the oven. Plus too its not metalic for the powder to stick to it once its charged...
Metal only...
Wheels yes... soda blasted and pick a color...
if your wanting 2 tone then have them Green tape off the area you dont want powdered and there you go... we used a green transparent tape for areas not to be charged its tape made for heat and yet the powder wont stick...
