Took grille to body shop today, should be back by tomorrow, i'll post pics for those of you who wanted to see it!!!

 

sand it off and restart. use paint thinner to take it off.. did you use primer?

what happened?

 

no, just sanded it and used krylon paint that is adhesive to plastic. but long story short, go too close to the grille while spraying it, made a glob, tryed to fix it.............

 

Sand it down and drop it off at a body shop. For about $75 they can spray it for you in the color of your choice. The amount of time that you have wasted and the aggrevation isn't worth it in my book.

 

^^+1 and they will clear coat it too.^^ but if not just sand it with fine sand paper and start over.

 

thats why i dont want to do it myself

ima have a body shop paint mine

 

this makes me SOOOOO mad i get too close with the can for literally ONE F****ING SECOND, and my entire time is wasted...........

 

you shouldn't have even touched it, you could have sanded it smooth after it dried and resprayed

 

what kind of paint are you using? just curious b/c i've thought about doing this myself.

 

used this paint >>> http://krylon.com/main/product_templ...roduct_details

It says you dont have to sand it but i did, just use a 320/Fine sandpaper to sand it then wipe everywhere you sanded it with a tack cloth. Mine would have been awesome if i didn't mess it up............

 

lol i did the same thing while doing mine, its really easy to fix, sand the area and a little bit around it smooth, then do 2 coats of primer on that specific area...wait...then 3 coats of black and it will go away

YOU DO NOT NEED TO SAND DOWN THE WHOLE THING AND START OVER

 

yeah man I wouldn't even waste time trying to fix it. Send it to a body shop and have them do it right the first time.

 

Just sand it down. You can also use some paint thinner.

 

Looks to me like you put too much paint on to start off.

The key to a good spray painting job is to apply layers with light even coats. Yours has a build up, which will eventually peel off or crack.

You need to strip/sand the entire grille, then prime the grille first with several light coats.......then wet sand to remove any imperfections. Then when the prepped surface is perfect, start off with a light misting of paint...don't try to cover the entire grille in one coat.....remember layering is the key. If you find any specs of dirt between coats, make sure the paint is dry, then wet sand lightly to remove the blemish. Then continue to layer the paint. You will find this method should give you excellent adhesion, and a nice professional quality paint job.

Good luck
