Painting lower chrome trim of the front grille

So i bought paint from express paint.com

Then got a few boxes
200 grit scuff off chrome and if i messed up
600 grit for primer
1000 grit for clearcoat

Newspaper
Primer (sandable)
and clearcoat



Basically take off the top rad cover and pull out the grill.
Out grill is only held on by buttons and clips.

So then you flip the grill theres a few screws to take off the chrome piece.



Then start sanding it down with the rough grit sand paper.



once its dull you need to set up a box with some news paper so you don't make a mess.




(30 mins - an hour dry time for each layer so when you touch it your finger prints won't be there....)
Primer it about 3 coats is good then sand it down lightly with the 600 grit.
You don't need as many coats but I figure I got nothing to lose.
Make sure when spraying it doesn't bleed too much or run cuz if it dries you might have to start all over.



Then I painted the grill in light spray basically keep a distance so it doesn't push or bleed.

3 coats and sometimes sand out the bubbles and in between.




Clear coat about one or 2 layers then use the sand paper even it out (1000grit)



I messed up the left side the paint bleed and the clear coat got stuck to the newspaper... :tomato:

So i'm redoing it tonight


Right side came out pretty nice =)!


Cost about 45 bucks everything.

I just need get new sand paper to redo the left side.
