Nissan Z Front Bumper Square Piece

[malaphasis]

I am getting some paint work done on my Z. I am getting the front bumper UPPER area painted gloss black vs. the silver. I think i want the lower to be gloss as well. Does anyone know what the GREEN is in the image? Can this be painted over with gloss paint? Thanks team.

We plasti-dipped my coworkers Tacoma. Didn't matter on that.

Any good shop will advise you don't paint the grill. It will never last or hold up. Adhesion is going to be a mfer on all those nooks and angles. I would never consider painting the grill. I'm a former body and paint tech.

It's the cover on the radar, and they CAN be sensitive.
Not saying painting it will screw something up, but sounds like you should stay away from metallic paints and keep it thin to be safe.

ok, they decided against painting the lower part but are still going to do the upper part.

I'll let you know when it fails:/

I rattle canned my upper grill with some Krylon flat black, seems to holding up fine so far. If it chips I will just respray, the joy of a flat color. Plus it is a close match to the bottom grill area.

Since I had the manual out for the auto door lock question...

Manual advises against painting this area:

I got the RGB Velossa snorkels put in too, they are WHITE. ah well, I have to do the wiring myself asap.

Very happy with the blacked emblems and rear removal.
