BlackPano Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 What do you guys think of this? I do not want to go total black out with my '13. I like the grey wheels and other chrome accents, but I am thinking a plasti-dip job on the grille could look nice and be reversible if I decided it didn't look right (or just got tired of it). Please excuse my 2 minute photo hack job. vs. Robert Iggy Cerami 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2015mkzhybrid Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I like the blacked-out look for a black car. Nice concept Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackPano Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Thanks, I know it won't be everyone's favorite but it looked pretty good to me. I know some really like a good bit of chrome on a black car. I totally get that. I believe I saw a red '15 or '16 with a black grille. It looked pretty nice as well. I'm not sure I would want to keep it that way though. I do like red and chrome and if changing the grille color I tend to stick with body color. Is the tuxedo black a metallic, pearl, or both?

BlackPano Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 So here are two additional options only painting the inside part of the grille and then one only the outside. & Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeBrown Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I like the only inside treatment best of all. I'm not a fan of blackout grills. I never really liked it on my Lincoln LS and replaced it with an LSE grill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never really liked it on my Lincoln LS and replaced it with an LSE grill. That is the way I am leaning as well. I might not end up doing anything at all, but figured if I made these pictures I could look at them for a while and see which one still looks good to me after a few weeks.

bdegrand Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 What do you use on your tires to make them look that good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgara Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I'm with Joe.... I like the inside-only treatment, leaving a chrome surround. That looks best to my eye. I think it goes really well with your wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackPano Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 What do you use on your tires to make them look that good? That is actually not my car (pics were before I had mine) but I use a wet tire shine by McGuire's that looks similar. I've found that by using a wax applicator I can work the product in better, I use less, it looks more natural, lasts longer, and there is no slinging onto the wheels.

wm519 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) I went halfway. Blacked out every other rib. Just tested it with black tape. Edited April 30, 2017 by wm519 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediumWilly22 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I like them all. The full black is my favorite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2013MKZ Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I would do the slats black but leave the surrounding chrome... saw one like that when I was looking for mine and really thought it looked sharp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcgliss Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Every other rib looks sharp. Second choice is black center with chrome surround. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbuff442 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 i like the black grills with chrome surround best. total black out looks good too but imho only on a black car, might not work that well on any other color. the Every Other one is my 2nd fav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Ice MKZ Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) I like the "all black" and the "only inside/chrome surround" The 'every other" looks to "Honda" to me...but I'm old Not sure how much it will match the tuxedo metal flake though...but I do like the look. The car you chose for your experiment is a Black Label with "center stage" theme...seen a couple for sale...nice.

RealGomer Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Sweet. I wonder what my 2014 Sunrise Metallic would look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zondedo Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Another vote for inside only with the chrome surround. Looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
