Jerez Black Spray Paint?

Hi all

Just bought and installed matte black kidney grills for my Jerez Black M3.

Dont really think the matte black suits the car... what do you guys think?

Am I able to purchase some Jerez Black spray paint anywhere to paint the grills? I can find touch up paint but needs to be applied with a brush...

Or is it easier to just buy gloss black grills? Will this look better than the matte on a Jerez Black?

Check out IND's website. You can get just about anything painted with Jerez Black including grills, gills, and even interior trim.

What you can do is buy a can of sp*****x 2k clear coat and apply the clear to your existing Matte Black grills. It'll become gloss black afterwards.

If you're wanting to go gloss black, sure you can spraypaint. But if you want to paint them Jerez, let IND handle it. My grills and gills are a perfect match.
