I'm still trying to figure out, why are you masking off the chrome metal grill??? It's a totally painless procedure to remove the plastic portion and paint it properly.
Teck, that grill looks fantastic - that would be my project, kick ***!!!

I agree with Staplegun about your grill, it looks great! Actually more muscular....
Thank you for the color codes, I looked at the manual for the location for the paint code; it said under the hood. I checked; and there were bunch of numbers with no explanation.. So I am confused... The paint code must be placed somewhere around the car...

once again....altering anything on the car is consider modding. Painting your grille, rims, changing your shiftknob, steering wheels are all consider modding. please next time don't bother PM me on this because I thought you were gonna say something more interesting that calling than TASTE instead of MODDING the car.
you can do whatever to your car for all I care, it's your car, but don't go around calling people out telling them why or don't mod the car because stock is soo good or critize who mod their cars.

Or
Open your service book, on the last page should be a blue/white sheet with a lot of codes...there you should it find as well (if you have the sheet..sometimes the factory plant forgets them).
