dont be mad
what did u do to paint the grill, i know i did it half ass first time and i had to go back and re do it, if u dont sand it really well, use a primer, and put a million coats, it will most likely peel

I painted it before and I never had a problem with peeling I just had problems with rock chips. The first time I only sanded it down and painted it, Half ass sorta. I shot 3 coats of paint and called it a day. This time I did buy primer, and I shot like 4 coats of paint and I was gonna shoot a couple coats of clear then my ass forgot to clear coat from the parts store and I had no front end so I said fuck it and just painted it. No matter what you do your gonna have problems with chipping it just has to be re-painted every once in awhile but to avoid painting less often just lay down a couple coats of each. Next time I paint it I'm doing it completely right...sand down, primer, paint, clear coat.
