Anyone have one of these grills? I just got one and the "black powder coating" is lousy! Luckily I plant to paint it so it's more visible in the red side cover.

I've just ordered a complete set of 3D stainless steel grilles from Spyderpops to fit the same panels that I intend to paint black, hope they are better than that.
I may even go the the expense of getting them powder coated, depends what they look like once I see them.
Anybody painted stainless steel themselves before ?

Painted it first with etching primer, then a few coats of white. The a bit of red and an few strokes of 1-shot pinstripe paint to add a bit of flare.

Now to cut off most of the tabs so it will fit in with the black shroud. Couldn't get the black shroud back in place with the flames added.
