blacked out my grills finally

uhaulball · 04-30-2006, 08:19 PM

had trouble with this entire process.

used black primer, black metallic paint, and clear coat.
When i was putting on the primer, the wind blew the newspaper i put them on and it flipped onto the primer and messed it all up. had to re-sand and only resanded one side (too lazy). Then when i finally had all the layers on, i dropped one of the hood pieces, all the paint was messed up. so i put sprayed more paint over it and some clear coat. in the end, it turned out kind of uneven to the touch, but looks alright. I love the look. heres some crappy pics with my camera phone

I also was bored so i played with the 51 combo screw driver i bought, and i removed my front plates. hope i dont get any tickets for that... also... admire my uglyass wheels on monster truck XI suspension (soon to change hopefully)
