My first DIY painting the Grille

I was bored at work last night so I figured I paint the grille.

Plastidip is the ****







Not bad eh?

No sir. Its rattle can. Real thick stuff. I just scuffed up the grille with some 320 grit and sprayed it on. Two coats is all you need!

I threw some nuts and bolts at it about an hour after I sprayed the second coat and they didn't chip it. I'm gonna take a close look at it after about a week or so and see if there is any problems

Thank you, I will be going to Home Depot tomorrow and getting some sand paper and plastidip. How do you think a coat of clear would look on top of that from a spray can?

I dunno. I prefer the satin finish over gloss. The contrast between the satin and clear on the rest of the car looks good. Pics don't do it justice.
