2017 Platinum with Sport Grille (Gif animation)

[Eric F]

@jonnoriega has a black grille on his black Platinum. I don't recall whether he had the original grille painted, or he replaced it with a Sport grille.

He used plastidip I think. I'm not sure how durable it is or how long it will last.

Another thing to consider is that the grill being painted could actually be viewed as a bad thing. I don't know how much highway driving you do but more paint to get chipped. I wrapped the front of my Sport with Xpel Ultimate but nothing on the grille unfortunately.

It's been over a year and it looks the same as when I had it done and I get bugs all the time. I've been using F11 Top Coat to have them removed and do carwashes occasionally of course.

Paint the factory Platinum grille black to match is my vote. Besides the bodyshop is clueless, painting chrome plastic is not the same as painting chrome plated metal.

Not that you asked, but if you are going to spend that kind of money......

I had my ugly 'chrome' door handles, and rear door 'explorer' trim strip painted, no issues!
