Painting Front Grille with Plasti Dip

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Grille

If you want to give a more aggressive look to the front of your car, consider painting the front grille matte black: the best solution is to remove the grilles and place them on a work surface covered with paper where you can thoroughly clean the grilles before painting them; however, if you choose the famous Plasti Dip paint, which deposits a thin rubber film rather than painting, you can paint the grilles while leaving them installed on the hood and creating a rough mask around them; once the application is complete, you can remove the portion of film deposited on the body around the grille.
