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.

^ +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.

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.

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.
