To be honest I think a lot of people just take it to a decent spray shop and get them to spray it.
C43 and loving it.

mine is Black Chrome..
don't have upclose pics.
how they do it is leave the OEM chrome on touch then spray it with clear black (kind of smoke).

I believe someone on the board has this grill and they said it was more of a matte or dull black than gloss.

where can I get that black chrome done?
dude just sand down a grille, use grey primer and use a glossy black paint about 3-5 coats.. seal it and it will look very glossy..Originally Posted by djgspot
Paint your chrome grill with VHT night shade.
i did mine with plasti dip
I did mine with sand, primer, and 3 coats of flat black. Took no time at all, been painted for like 3 months and it's still holding up super well. Plus, who cares if it chips, just throw another coat on.
I've seen these black grilles on german fleabay.
Does Avantgarde grille come complete with outer frame?
Painting is it thick factory paint that sticks well and doesn't peel off from stonechips?
Buying then painting an Avantgarde grill should be easy. If you want to get creative, paint - then cover with black carbon fiber wrap

seems to be too much of a hassle painting that grille!
I want it ready made and to go.
i have this blackened grille i just got it off of ebay about 3 weeks ago
post some hot pics of your car with the grille.
is it glossy black or matte black grille?
Is it painted black or is the grille manufactured by blackened chrome to avoid chipping???
If being painted, is it thick black paint non sensitive to chipping?
What about the inside plastic covers to prevent crap flying into the airfilter compartment?
Standard w202 uses 1 protective cover.
C43 AMG uses 1 cover on each side for airfilter protection.
Grille is it perfect fit on the bonnet?
may i ask where you got your headlights?
Try painting your OEM grill black an if you don't like it get an avantgarde
