Painting front lower grills

Hi everybody!

Just wondering if anyone has painted their front lower grills? Post pics

I've ordered some (msport) foglight delete grills and kinda want to paint them gloss black. Figured I will do the centre lower grill too whilst I'm at it.

Anyone know if it will effect the adaptive cruise control?

TIA

You can use Sem paint or local bumper trim paint. i used it on all my e34 trim parts. looks great

just protect the cruise sensor and all is ok!

not the same bumper but here's how my grills turned out after deciding whether to have them left alone as is or painted Jetblack? I did ask my fellow members here and they all suggested to have them painted.

so here's the before


and after



here it is installed



I think it's a night and day difference so in my opinion have them painted
