Blacked out grill fest

So me, gan78mao and ucla bruin decided to paint our grills late last night. The two PG cars used a metallic black paint (I think, since it had metal flakes in it like the body's paint) while the OB used a gloss black (non-metallic) paint. Anyways, here's the pictures since I want to get to sleep. Also, sorry for the crappy pictures since the lighting was horrible and the flash wasn't any help so it was off.

All the cars look great. Now I have to do mine. I think I'm going to go gloss also. We'll see. A DIY would be great. Please post up.

I think it looks cheap. I think I would have left a little more chrome on there (eg top and bottom rows).

Thanks for the comments. I thought about leaving the top and bottom chrome but decided that would look unfinished and too much variation on the grill. I felt like leaving only the Mt. Fuji sign chrome would accentuate the overall look in the front more. If I have time to wash the car on Sunday, I'll get some better pics in day light. But right now I think the black matches with the black vents and my headlight overlays pretty well

Hello from the Apple store at the mall


Good time guys. (Alex, I'm gonna drink the beer you left at my place )



Alan, post your pics!
