I really want to do it, but I don't have a garage of my own to do the spraying in. Can't do it outside in the open, now, can we? That'd be crazy. Plus, I gotta figure out what to do about the gaping hole in the front while I wait for the paint to properly cure and such.
I think the only solution is to construct a makeshift paint booth in my driveway with some 2x4's and a tarp from Home Depot.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Concept!
Wait. No. I guess I could take it to the garage of one of these condos near my house. Why didn't I think of that before?

He bought the extra grill at his dealership then took it to his paint shop for me. I paid him for the supplies and labor. I'm impressed too with the quality of work done on it.
Thanks guys for the nice comments, yea hopefully someone will make a CF front grill where the black painted areas would be CF.

VHT Heavy Duty paint cost me $20 with shipping. I had bought the Krylon paint, but I didn't like the shade when I did a test on it, so said screw it and went with the VHT. Take that, plus sand paper, plus paint tack wipe. That's around $30.... then factor in the feather the flew onto my wet paint and having to sand the paint down again, buy another VHT can to repaint....$50!!! ![Big Grin](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

At least I learned just how "Heavy Duty" that paint really was. I should have just rented a sander or something. Blisters and sore shoulder from sanding that thing back down!
