Looks great, did you take off your rear emblem to paint it or did you leave it on?

At first I tried to do it with it on... i messed up when peeling off the plasti-dip so I decided to pop it off and spray it. Easier that way

Was your lip altered so it wouldn't have that black part anymore?

Wow looks great! I'm considering doing the same thing myself. If you did the grill without removing everything, can you possibly explain the steps you took for taping it? I'm not sure what needs to get taped off and what I should leave bare, and I dont want to mess anything up although it's probably hard to mess up with plasti-dip lol
Thanks

Alright listen up.

Tape up the Acura emblem. Don't need to tape the chrome ring around the "A" though.

Tape up the edge of the hood, you can even wrap a bit under the front of the hood too.

Tape up the left and right side of the center bar grill. Note that where the bar grill meets the left and right side, there is a crease, don't need to take over the crease. Allow some overspray, it will be easy to remove with the crease there. Drape the newspaper over the headlights.

Tape up starting the lower grill along the mesh then drape the newspaper over the bumper.

Spray. Make sure you spray under the bar grill too, and do a few coats in between 15 minutes of drying. Don't worry if you spray on the mesh part, it won't show up.

Take a dull knife and slowly go around the ring of the "A" emblem, there should be a crease on where the emblem meets center bar. Peel off the exess over the emblem.

Now peel off the rest of the excess, and in the area where the center bar meets the left and right side, you can take the knife and go along the crease so it will tear right at the crease.

Ya photoshop... really bad photoshop. The plugs the dealership gave me were like AM color.. not CGP. I might need to resolve that.
