My stock grille was a bit chipped up, so I decided to sand it down and paint it. I got a can of color match (Tectite Grey) paint a couple months ago, not really knowing what I needed it for.. Well, I found a purpose

I pulled the grille off, which is just 6 - 8mm bolts. Very easy

I then was contemplating masking off the two parts, and realized that would be a mess. SO- With two screwdrivers, I was able to unclip the 200 clips that hold the front and back pieces together.

Once they were seperate, I was home free.

I sanded and primered the (formerly chrome grille).. once that was dry, I wet sanded, and sprayed with the Tectite Grey. Once that was dry, I cleared it, then buffed it out

reassmbled the two parts, and slapped it back on the car. It looks WAY better than before.

I will take a picture once it is light out. Just wanted to share my fun weekend!

Looking good Dane.... but can this color match job shave 0.1 seconds off your best time on our next track rental?

Bramage

YES!!! And I have some race stickers too.. so between the two, I will guarantee a 11.2X next time out. How is that for confidence???


Also, I used the clear that is used for bumbers.. I guess it has some added flex. I also ordered a new grille the day before I painted this one.. so worst case scenerio: Ill have a new chrome grille, and we can start this thread over next time I get bored HAHA
