you MIGHT be able to paint the grille but you will never fix that bumper correctly.

you need a pro shop for the bumper.

and ask them about the grille. you will find most body shops, insurance type places, wont want to touch the grille but you could ask.

since grille is plastic it needs sanded to remove all the old paint.
then an easy fix would be to do the grille in plastidip and be done.

or maybe body shop will do it in paint when they paint the bumper.

the grille will always be an issue due to rock chips and such too. thats why plastidip might work for you on grille only. its not a totally smooth or glossy finish so do your home work.

Thanks for the input... I'm thinking about clearing the headlights in the spring maybe I'll do the grill then and see what I can do about the bumper... I was def thinking of Plastidip sucks when I had this painted that wasn't around or atleast I didn't hear about it.. From the looks these guys only did 3 coats which would explain the shitty job, sucks when ppl care more about $$$ then their work
