painting the grill
Hi,
how hard is it to paint the grill ?
do I need to scrape the chrome out first before painting ?
What kind of paint do you use ?
Thanks

Most likely I'll do it this weekend! There is a special type of primer that you can use so the paint will stick on most surface, even chromed! So basically just prep the surface to be painted using 600 grid sandpaper or so, put on the special primer, and paint.

You can get the primer and the paint from a place that sells custom automotive paints. The grill is a small area so I think one spray can will be enough. Happy painting!

I'm in Santa Clara near Valley Fair Mall/Santana Roll. Where do you live and what color is your car?
