Yellow Hummer With Black Grill Pics Please

[bendyprissy]

Does anyone here have a yellow Hummer with a black grill vs a chrome or yellow one? I am up in the air about which color to paint my grill. I like the yellow better than the chrome but I could not find any pics with a black one which I am leaning toward but a pic of one would greatly help & be appreciated.

Sometime I wish mine was black, looks bad ass

The best bang for your buck and most durable option would be bedliner or plastidip. Black or yellow paint won't hold up on a chrome grille.

Well Solarflare, that definitely seals the deal for me. That looks awsome! What did you use to cover it in black? Did you sand it first? Prime it? Clear coat?

MustangGirl, can you sand it down & then paint it? What did you use to cover yours in yellow? Yours looks fantastic by the way.

My bad SolarFlare I just realized those weren't yours.

Mine is an H3X and they come with painted grills

Honestly, I really like the look of MustangGirl666's setup a lot better. The yellow grill with a black brushguard looks awesome. Second place would go to the black grill. I'm not a fan of the chrome grill...or chrome anything for that matter!

You can order colored grilles

This one is in Australia but if you search over in the USA you should be able to buy one there also.............

All the painted grills have been discontinued here for some time. Last year Zach actually helped a member track down one of the last two yellow grills.

They listed around $400 plus shipping was $100 due to size.

They didn't make Solar Flare Metallic grills in the GM Accessories line, so I ended up having to buy a paint to match grille for $300 and paying $200 to have it painted

I would suggest you to look in to the plasti dip. Easy to apply and touch up if you need to, just clean it and spray it. And you can get it of if you need to.

I used plasti-dip on mine. It reminded me of a being covered by fabric. The finish had a real static-cling impression. I covered the whole with black krylon spray enamel paint. It still has the rough texture but it doesn't "grab" me when I walk by my grill. It is pretty tough, and I rubbed the grill against a tree and some of the paint rubbed off, so I need to fix it. I'll do the repair when I have some free time and the weather warms up.

My advice is buy four cans at least and make many, many coats. I believe the cover coat of enamel really helped to "harden" the plasti-dip. Like an M&M, hard coat but soft inside.

Mmmmm. M&M's....
