Hum...sounds like you guys are in favor of it. Alright then, I'll give it a shot once the weather gets warmer (believe or not, it's June now and we in Chicago still hasn't seen 70F yet). I wouldn't be surprise if it actually snows.

that looks so so hott man def love it infact after seein urs is what convinced me to do so plaus the fact u said it hasnt chipped im gonna get the mesh painted only because my car is white and dont think it will look right leavin it black.....axelback i know w my car which is pearl white the paint alone is a 3 step process that i know cause i had to have my bumper painted and w my color the body shop told me it was a 3 step process so u decide for me the price wasnt bad and it saves me a headache and the body shop is willin 2 take the responsability and if they f up its on them.....peace

bloo_tls02,
Thanx much![Big Grin](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
axleback,
Thanx much also
...i used some spray paint fron kragen...it was the closest match i can find...i think it was called artic silver? you need to get a plastic adhesive promoter and a can or two of clear cloat...it all depends on how much layers you wanna put on...i did like 8 coats of clearcoat...no chipping so far and it really shiney...as for the grille removal...really straight forward...just some plastic clips and some screws for the chrome pieces...hope this helps...if not...post up more questions and i'll try to answer them...Laters

Is the plastic adhesive promoter also made by Kragen? I'm gonna stop by AutoZone tonight and see if I can find some. Better yet, if you could tell me exactly what paint you used, it'd be very helpful. So far, I'm gathering that you used a can of Kragen adhesive promoter. Let it dry and then apply the Kragen artic silver paint (multiple coats), and finally the Kragen clearcoat protectant (8 coats). Is that about right? Thanks again dude.

axleback...its not kragen brand...just the spraypaint they carry...doesnt really matter on what brand you use...just dont use the cheap stuff tho...you basically summed it all up...but i painted it in the sun so that the paint can dry faster...
