I purchased a replacement grill (Plastic eggcrate) and the color of the plastic is a very light grey. While I know I could paint it if I choose to, I would like to set it up the way it came from the factory.

Does anyone know if the color when new was this very light grey? or was it darker like the color of the plastic inside the headlight covers.

Thanks
Don

It would of been a darker gray. The light gray is sunlight damaged plastic. You can run your nail across it and it will scrape off. I saw a commerical for Krylon paint (I think) that is specially formualted for plastic. It is supposed to actually bond with the paint instead of just coat it. Maybe they have that in gray.
