I’ll be picking up my shadow black Big Bend in a few weeks. I was hoping to have the grille and wheels match the gloss black paint. Does anyone have any ideas?

I was planning to powder coat the wheels but wasn’t sure about the grille.

What do you mean by ideas? The grill is plastic it can be painted by you or any paint shop with no issue 😎

Yeah the grille is just plastic, so you can do whatever with it.

You can even see if an Outer Banks owner is willing to switch. Big Bend and Outer Banks share the same grille, and the Outer Banks grille comes painted black from the factory.

The wheels I believe are painted from the factory, so you'll have to strip it and powder coat it, which most powder coat shops should be able to do. They'll probably have to take the wheel weights off in the process, so you'll have to get everything re-balanced once they're done.

You can likely find an OBX grill someone is offloading for cheap.
