How easy is the grill removal? Does it just pop out or are there retention screws?
Looks good!

I removed the grille I prep the surface with mineral spirits but you can use alcohol SWABS OR ANYTHING TO TAKE WAX OFF THE SURFACE. I picked up a can of black plasti dip. You can pick it up at you local hardware store. I went to Home Depot.
First coat do a light coat about a 50/50 transparent. Let dry for about 5-8 min. 2nd coat repeat same thing allow another 5-8 min. 3rd coat give a good coverage. 4th coat same thing.
Watch the video:
Thanks,
Eric

I did my emblems 4 coats of Anthracite plus 2 coats of glossifier. Used a tooth pick to clean out between the letter.
Came out great.

I tried it out on my grille and it just didn't work with a black car. The Plasti's black isn't as black as our black cars and it looked funny. Went with a black grille that I had painted black when I did the front bumper, so now rock chips won't be as noticeable. BTW, black grille on a black car = the *****.
