I just received Dennis' stone guard grill today....Amazingly fast turnaround.

While fiddling with it, the thought of painting the canister black tingles in the back of my mind.

It will make it blend in w/ the radiator and not stick out visually like a sore thumb.

What do you guys think?
Shouldn't cause any harm, right?
Anybody done it?

Smokin did it on his car, and it looked really good. He's a really nice guy, too.

Since this had been discussed before when Dennis' screen was sold the last time around, I did this when my screen was installed a few weeks ago.

Yes, I didn't do this when I put the screen on, but I will be taking it off and painting that damn can over the coming months...

I have heard of others doing it...I can't imaginge any problems by doing so.

I was thinking Rust-Oleum black but would wipe down canister with solvent for good bonding. Havent looked to see which is easier spray or brush as I have both paints in Rust-Oleum. Comments? [QUOTE]Originally posted by S2KPHX:

Ben,
How can I get the grill you referenced, and how much did it cost? Do you like the way it looks installed?
