Damn, turned out quite nicely!

 

Nice! Great job.. Too bad mine is white... I dont know if it will look good with white...

 

looking good!!!

 

thanks for the comments guys. here's the grill on the car! I think it looks nice.

 

hella nice,bro

 

looks great, the chrome actually looked good on your color too.

 

how did you do that? did u just use enamel?

 

damn, that sweet!

 

looks fine.

 

Yeah bro, that definitely looks good on your ride!

 

much better than stock... i painted the vents on the grill but the winter has chipped up all the paint so im gonna get the evo grill and used the chipped up one for the winter.

 

BrianDaBox - you are right. Thunder Grey is the only color i actually liked the chrome color on the grill for .. but i decided to get rid of it, as I probably won't have any chrome accents on my car. So i decided to paint the whole thing.

I sanded the chrome grill .. covered w/2 coats of primer and then 3 coats of "metallic grey (medium)" and then a few coats of some clear finish.

Did pretty much the same w/the grill inserts .. sanded, primed and painted. I was more careful on these as I didn't want any runs and wanted the whole grills to be painted right. It looks pretty good I think. Thanks for the comments guys.

btw - i actually painted the chrome part of the grill 3 times before it was how I wanted. did once, used paint thinner to remove, did a 2nd time, then sanded and then re-painted to get the end results. Damn im glad im done with it. :P

 

SuWEET!
