Awesome IPL/Aero conversion with midnight grille and trim rings. Would you mind posting some of these on a thread that I started to showcase pictures of different bumpers, grilles, etc.?
Looks outstanding! This has inspired me to do the same... Thank you!
I will probably wet sand my grille just for the paranoia of it.
DO NOT wet sand the chrome before hand. It will completely ruin the black chrome effect. The shadow chrome is a translucent and shows everything under neath. If you do this it will look all scratched up underneath. Its not recommended you use adhesion promoters either. Simply clean it, and then I used duplicolors prep spray with a microfiber cloth. It adhered perfectly.

Nice!!! Blue Slate is a hard color to pull off certain mods. I'm learning first hand myself. LOL What fog light bulbs you running? And are those OEM HID bulbs in the headlights? If not, please share them as well. Thanks!!!
Thats Exactly it. When you initially lay your base, It will actually look darker than when it dries. It will lighten up a tad, and then when you lay the shadow chrome it adds to the black chrome effect. You really need the kit as it all ties together.

Blue Slate is difficult. Id really like some more graphite colored things, But as you know the BlueSlate is hard to deal with. Love the color, but certain color mods just don't look right. I was a little scared to do the grille to be honest, but after I saw that Baus Auto G with the all black grille, I loved it. Looked amazing, so I just gave it a shot, and I'm very happy I did it. Just did my calipers too, Super happy with those. Went with a bronze-ish gold.
