Grill Painting

Post by rsaxman »

Has anyone with a Salsa painted their grill to match? If you have can you post pics? For that matter, and Salsa's with custom or modded grills, please post pics.Thanks

I thought about painting mine silver to match my 04 Vibe, but leaving the top of the "honeycomb" edge black. But then again I have been tossing around modifying the lower grills to imitate an EVO look. That would mean cutting out the center and bottom part then finding the right grill screen/mesh that would look right.

Not sure what years you are looking for?Quote, originally posted by mixer »I thought about painting mine silver to match my 04 Vibe, but leaving the top of the "honeycomb" edge black.

That would mean cutting out the center and bottom part then finding the right grill screen/mesh that would look right.I'm trying something similar,but I'm starting with the top grilles.I have the honeycomb hollowed out,but I'm not sure how to mount the mesh into the frames.I want to mould it into the frames,and not rest on top with tie wraps.I'm stumped on how to make it look clean.I'd like some suggestions.

Year doesn't matter. I am trying to visualize what a painted grill looks like with that color of car. I am a visual person and have some trouble just imagining what it looks like before I dive into to doing it.

PHXLavaVibe painted his grills. I know Lava isn't Salsa, but it should give you a hint:http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=21390Personally, I'd stick with dark grey or black.
