How To Paint Grills On Cayenne S??

[eyeglaskid]

I wanted to paint the front grills a dark grey to match the grey on the car. How do I get access to the grill? Do I have to remove the bumper?

Yes you do.. just had mine done...

Painted front grills silver, also had the front and side moldings sanded smooth and painted to match black.. (rear was already done)

Once you had the bumper off how do you remove the front grills?

Anyone can DIY this btw, on my 04 CTT the two grills in front of the intercoolers on each side just popped out.. I imagine this is so you can replace the fog lights easily... the two large grills in from of the radiator and slim tranny cooler? anyway were more of a challenge... I took plastic knives (broke a few in the process) to unstick the double-sided tape that was holding them in addition to the clips like on the side grills.. no biggie.. a little prying, coaxing... 15mins later pop.. out.. then I wiped down with mineral spirits to prep, then used a fusion charcoal/mettalic as a base and while it was still wet I dusted with a silver.. I wanted to get something to match my Titanium Grey and this was an el cheapo method worth a shot.. paint shop if it didn't work out.. I like it.. will see how well it holds up.. You tell me... It's a lot more subtle if than the white or bright silver against black or a blue.. so you have to imagine dark holes that were just too much black on the front to fully understand...

After... Front...

Before... Front

After... at an angle..

No Fear!
