+6 No on the flaps. Funny, I just bought the sand paper to prep and prime the grill. What grit did you use?

 

^when i painted my grill i hit it with 400 grit and it worked great.

 

+whatever number we're on, don't paint the splash guards. i've seen it done and i think it looks out of place.

 

800 man, worked great

 

hows the grille look on the car

 

Dont forget a good IPA wipe down.

For most projects I use 400 grit, 91% IPA from Walgreens, adhesion promoter, BBQ grill paint and if needed a matte UV protective coating.

 

rear diffuser looks great man! +whatever number on not painting the mud flaps!

 

Hmm, how much did you pay for all the stuff u used to paint it? Is that cheaper than just buying the bluebat overlay?

 

Looks nice man!

 

i dont really know how much their overlays are, but the paint cost me7 dollars, and the sand paper was another 7, the hardest part was covering up everything in the rear even the exhaust so it wouldnt get marked. the grill is very easy to remove, im not really a big fan of overlays, but i will b ordering the tail overlays just to see how they look, and if i like them, ill be painting them ;D

 

looks great, chill on the mudflaps though

 

I'm probably going to be doing this tomorrow. What's a good grit sandpaper to buy or this project? I want to do the easy but yet unique mods to set my G35 from the stock ones.

 

looks good i was thinking about doing the same thing.

 

im gonna sand down my grill and do that but the diffuser idk if i have the ***** haha just sand, prime and paint for grill right? use 400 grit?

 

holy old thread revival !

i dont recall what i used but yea youll be fine. ive done so many grills now i can honestly finish one in under 10 min
