Re-did my grill today. Had too many chips and decided to paint the mt fuji too cause I got tired of the black and chrome look.

Next up black the rims

 

^is that flat? what process did you use and materials? i plan to do gloss but just curious

 

No its actually gloss, but camera didn't pick it up well.

I sanded the grill down, used primer (duplicolor), gloss black (krylon gloss black) (this: http://s.shld.net/is/image/Sears/03006802000) and clear coat (gloss, duplicolor).

 

same materials i have sitting here..just have to do it

 

Started mine today. Got 320 grit sand paper to sand down a few rock chips and get the chrome off. Using dupicolor primer, gloss black, and clear as well.

Did the first coat of primer after sanding and cleaning.


Just applied a second coat. I plan on wet sanding with 600 grit once its completely dry. Then I'll apply a third and wet sand again before applying the first gloss black coat.

 

Old pic for comparison


Finished product. I think it turned out great, but I do have some doubts with how long it will be able to hold up. (sorry for posting such a dirty car lol)

 

thanks!

 

Looks legit man, going to use this DIY to black out mine too...Thanks alot

 

Any updates on how well the paint is holding up??


And any tips on wet sanding ?

 

mine held up for about a year before the shine and color starting going away...time to respray

 

Looks great on a BO G

 

Lots of people can't seem to choose between flat black or the gloss black. I suggest semi gloss as a great in-between. just finished mine and it looks great

 

 

Great diy! Looks like I know what Im doing this weekend.

 

+1...I just did mine last weekend with semi-gloss...it's just the right amount for contrast without looking dull.
