What kind of black do you guys use on the grill?

I used Krylon sandable primer and *SEMIGLOSS* black. Matches the black plastic grills perfectly... you can't even tell.

Word.

SEM is a PROFESSIONAL product. MOST bodyshops use this SAME paint, in the SAME can to repaint trim. Trust me... it is just that much better then everything else out there.

Meh, who needs professional. We're talking DIY E30 guys, not high roller E46 M3 perfectionists. :)

For once I have to agree with jordan 100 percent.
SEM Trim Paint is simply the only stuff you should use. I had to sand and paint my center rear impact strip, and you can not even tell which part is factory and what has been painted. I use gloss black for the grills, satin black for the rest of the trim.
It costs 10 dollars per can for a damn good reason; its the only paint that is an exact factory match.
Also, if 10 dollars for a can of paint that willl drastically change how your car looks is expensive, you seriously need to stop driving a BMW. This is the reason why e30's do not get the the respect they deserve.

when you guys do this do you just paint the kidneys or do you do the whole grill too so they all match?
