Im an amateur when it comes to this stuff. It still turned out alright though. They both turned out a little rough but it'll do for the winter. Next is the rear chome trim. I Used DIY threads here and they were phenomenal. THX all.

 

for a second i thought you painted your car orange haha looks good tho.

 

thought the same until I saw the last pic lol

 

^ +1, i was shocked for a second there as well, looks like u did a fine job from the pics u posted of course we cant see too much details to see any imperfections u claim. The red G looks nice with blacked out trim for sure imo.

 

lol look at this one. Pics were taken with my "MyTouch" phone.

 

looks like a big orange to me too XD

 

the emblem on the front is black

 

Wow luger303!!! Nice G! How long did it take to paint!!!

 

^ i hope ur talking about the grill and not thinking that he painted his car orange... lol

 

THE GRILLE took a few hours to paint, removal and re-installation only took 30 minutes each. 4 coats of black and 5 clears with 10-15 minutes between each. I over did the clear coat on the fourth coat and it started running. So I let it dry good, wet sanded, sprayed another black, then a final clear coat. I live in Denver and it has been about 40 degrees here so that didn't help.

 

^ what kind of paint did you use?

 

his car is orange... "Garnet Ember" in his sig

 

Looks good, first time I see that colour on a G

 

^
just the way his phone camera captured the color. im garnet ember as well and have never seen it look orange like that lol

 

I used DupliColor Acrylic Enamel Gloss Black and Clear Coat. If you search grille removal you will find a thread by MIKEYO that is awesome. His looks way better. Didn't turn out as glossy as I wanted. I wonder if I didn't use enough clear or black? I will take some close up pics today and post em tonight.
My car is bright red. The pics turned out funny cuz of my phone and the direct sunlight I guess. I have other pics that show the red.
