Painted grill

I went to Sherwin-Williams today and bought a Adhesive Promotor and a can of KH3 Black paint and went to town! I took the grill of and striped it will Air Craft paint remover and then cleaned it with some soap and water. Let her dry the spray towo coats of the Ad. Pro. let dry for 5-10 mins the sprayed two coats of black letting dry over night then will sand with 800 and spray a few more coats. I will post pics asap!

Looks good! BTW - kinda funny that you drive a car that has nips! (front bumper near license plate)...is that to hold the plate flush/flat, since the bumper has curvature?
