Painted my GK combo's and just thought I would post the pictures here for all to see.
Did a heavy primer before painting the grills gloss black,, very easy.
Im sure they will get some scratches and I will have to repaint them every so often,, but personaly I think they look much cooler in black than that silver color.
I plan on getting the GK MB112 in the next few weeks,, thats guna get painted as well.
Cheers

I even thought about selling my MB210 for various reasons, but
now that Neo has gone all crazy, I'll be hanging onto mine.

I love the Blue Ridge and Smokies.
