Finally had time to do my grill. I like how it came out. Needs some clean up / touch up around the emblem. Just prepped and sprayed on car. What do y'all think?

 

Why'd you spray it on the car? It takes 2 minutes to remove off the car

 

Pop, pop, and 4 lifts... Then pull. It came out well.

 

Why would you spray it on the car? Did you atleast mask off behind? Or did you get plastidip all over your radiator?

 

This is what I was wondering^^^

 

I really dont get it. It is less than 10 minutes to just take the grill off and emblem out.

 

doesn't matter how you did it, it came out pretty clean...Is that a grey tone or black shot in very bright sun? I want to do this to mine, lost the emblem in an accident and thought why not paint it before installing new emblem...How many coats?

 

Front lip needs to go
Way too many horizontal lines goin on up front

 

I realize you are a prior Scion owner, but YES how the mod is done is VERY important. Quality is just as important if not more so than looks.

 

Advice!

Well i was thonking of spray painting my grill black, my cars gloss black, do u guys think that the non gloss grill would be recognizable and look weird bc its not glossy like the car? Uk bc diffrent black colors to them

 

I went flat black with my grille Thought it looked good UNTIL I painted it gloss black
Huge difference
Definitely the only way to go Especially with black. Flat or satin black might look like faded paint compared to the rest of the car

 

Thats exactly what i was thinking, it would look like a weird faded, how did u do the gloss and how much?
