a book called "how to paint a grille for dummies"

or some painting knowledge will do

 

why don't you lower it before you paint anything?

1. Clean off Grill really good.
2. Lightly Sand to scuff up the surface on the whole thing. Rinse.
3. Apply around 3 normal layers of Plasti-kote basecoat (find at local advanced auto parts)
4. Let dry.
5. Apply 3 layers or more of Plasti-kote import color (Found at local advanced auto parts too ); letting 5 mintutes between each layer for it to dry.
6. After last coat of paint, let dry for at least 1/2 hour.
7. Apply around 5 coats of plasti-kote clear coat leaving 5 minutes between each layer to dry.
8. Wala. Finished.

No prob.

 

should I be able to walk in with my colour code and they have that exact paint?

also is it the same method when painting sidemoldings and side-skirts/front lip?


thanks again
