Default Looking for a PAINTED type-r grille.

Or for someone to paint mine.
I'm not very good at painting, so i don't want to screw anything up.
I'm tired of driving around with an unpainted grille. it looks quite tacky.

i have a silver 2000 civic. if you or any of your friends know of anyone that is selling a painted grille that will match my car, lemme know!

yea man do it yourself, its not hard. for a good match i recommend this site. http://www.automotivetouchup.com/

just lightly sand them and wash them. tape up the black mesh with painters tape. find some place indoor to paint them. spray light coats and you should be good.

The only other option is trying to find a grill from a 99-00 Si, in silver.

I did the same back when I had my civic, took about a year to find a grille for sale from a Red 99-00 Civic Si..
