Painted my front grill *Pictures*

Taped it last night, 30 minute preparation. Woke up early bird to paint it.. It's not that bad, I suppose.. I like it, my friend likes it, my cousin likes it

I attempted to.. It was very hard to remove.. So I was like "THUGLIFE!, taping time!"

Thanks

I don't think I could have done that, I would be too worried about overspray, or not taping an area down properly...

No paint went through the grill, even though it did look like.

I tried following the DIY walk through.. I ended up cracking the middle of my radiator cover and gave up.. So I told my chick to pick me up some painters masking tape so I can carefully tape up my bumper and outlines.

Still need to color sand it and throw a matt clear on that bad boy, those rocks chips aren't going to be very nice to that grill.
