Badlands SAS owner here and I like the grill "shape."
I don't like the metallic grey color.
I also don't like the gloss black version of the same "shape" on the Wildtrak either.

So I bought an imitation Braptor grill from TLC and put it on.
I don't like the quality, but I do like the black plastic (some sheen but not glossy) look of it.

So. Is it possible to get, from Ford, a non-gloss black Badlands/Wildtrak grill?
I don't think so based on all my searching here, but I want to be sure by asking you all (help!).

Painting my grey grill or a new primer/gloss black Wildtrak grill, seems like my only options. Correct?

New grill from the parts counter will come primered and unpainted.

I opted for FORD PERFORMANCE OEM MATTE BLACK GRILLE EMBLEM OVERLAYS - from StickerFab. Comes with 3M automotive adhesive tape and affix over the OEM Bronco letters. They look great. Cost is $102. Available in multiple color options.

@Moving Chicane I'm almost sure that I saw a chinesium knock-off (like your Raptor grill) of the Wildtrak/Badlands grill that you could paint your desired color. Keep your factory grill as a fall-back in case you don't like the results.
