Just clearcoated the whole grille insert and stripes, three coats just to be sure it won't chip!

It will still chip, but it will look good for a while...re-sprays are no big deal once you've done 'em once.

If I didn't have so much Gray on my wagon, i'd go black... for the grill that is.
Mouramen I like how you fixed the grill instead of buying a new one and throwing that one away! Good on ya!

Forgot to paint the "pull to open hood" thingy...

The carbon like sticker is there so that the "pull thingy" doesn't scratch the paint!

geez, do you open your hood DAILY? Take off the fake cf sticker, paint the hood latch and carry a youch up paint bottle (with brush attached ) for if and when it does scratch it. You mess up a fantastic grille with all that junk

or maybe you can find a black sticker of some kind instead? I think it's a good idea.
