painting foreman grills

I have a 2007 candy plasma blue ZX14 and I want to have the fins of the grills painted to match. Does anyone do it or know who does it? I am located in Michigan but I could ship them wherever. Has anyone done this themselves?

Any paint shop in your area would be happy to do it. Just make sure you find a reputable one to take care of you. Good luck.

Check the phone book for a guy in Kalkaska he's a custom painter and really good, however I'm sure most painters could tackle the job and do it well.

I did my own it is not that hard to do but if you send them to someone tell them the paint is a "ColorRite" exclusive it is also a very good match as oppossed to having them try to color match it had several good shops try and because its a tri color or candy that has a base, color and clear coats its very hard to match but to be qiute honest the Colorite rattle cans did an amazing job on mine.

I just masked them off with pinstripe tape and masking tape and did them with the spray cans. Did the original set and a set of red 07 SE edition ones too.






This is just some tape on the fins to mock it up see if I liked it.....I did...I run the red ones now with the blue fins.

did my own also after talking to bomber..... the only thing i did different was clear coated the entire panel after color applied. i worked mine out with a 8.00 spray can of silver and blue from pep boys and cleared them with top end clear in a paint booth @ work,our 15,000 dollar computer could not match the color right (tough color man)with the camera system(work @ a body shop) however i had to make the 3 stage color as color didn't hit 100% so i had to base it with a brighter bottom. sounds like a lot of work, but not hateful. i could have just waited and ordered the color direct from tri-color but i like challenges sometimes
