    So I painted it with Duplicolor Rubberized Undercoating and left it overnight. The paint literally came off when I touched the grill so I decided to take it to get it powdercoated. Now I am rolling around with no center piece in the grill.

    ...and now I'm out of $75! =(

    i wouldnt have expected the undercoating to come off. i used 3m on mine and left it over night, then hit it with krylon fusion and it holds up just fine.... had it for about a year now.

    the local powder coat shop here is really proud of their machine so they charge out the ass for stuff. We usually take a 2 hour drive to dallas to get it done....sucks
