how do i paint this?
ok, so i was lookin threw trheads here and their, and i even did a search, but i could not find an answer to some thing's i would really like to do.
1st) as the topic states, i would like to know, how would i paint my grill? i drive a 2003 cl500 and the grill has these lil chrome strips on the tips of teh fin that stretch from left to right. i want to get it color matched to the car the correct way, and still leave the chrome strips. do i tell the painter to just tape it up or do i remove them and re-install them later? i dont want to bend or mess them up either.
would it be cheaper and wiser to buy another one to work on or do they sell them painted?
2nd) i had a 2001 dodge intrepid before this, and i did alot of mod's to it also, one mod i did was doing Nightshade on teh rear tail lights. i want to do my tails on the CL and leave teh white reverse lines clear, but do i use the same cheap ole can from walmart or what. only reason i ask is because i see people talkin about how their paint shop did the work? how? what do i tell teh painter?
3rd) my driving light thats in teh same housing as my highbeams, its a yellow bulb(middle two lights not the main lights) and its just killing the look of the car. can they be changed easly and what bulbs would be best to get a good clean white color, or should i leave it alone? should i make it a more yellwo bulb lol? or go white?
thanks in advance
