Sprayed the grilles

[richd]

I know alot of people like to spay there grilles satin black, but decided to be a little diffrent and go with gloss black, wasnt really sure how it was going to turn out, was it going to look gash or decent i wasent sure, But im very please with the results now, it looks really well compared to the old faded plastic, i suppose its going to be a marmite thing, you either love it or hate it lol.

Before

Not quite this shiney as its still wet here

Now

I bet it was a b*tch to sand down. Looks really good mate

Looks good. You should do the lower grill and splitter aswell.

lower grille has been done mate, just doesnt show up as much as its in the shadow lol, decided against doing the splitter tho becuse it woule get scratched to bits lol

 

[djjonnibgood]

Looks good in the pics, but i'd have to see it in person before i did it to mine

I bet it was a b*tch to sand down.

mine was lol. wet and dry grit to sand it, primered then sanded, paint + laquer then sanded again to polish up nicely.

looks cracking mate, really fresh'n the front up that has ! top work

Nice one, they really suit the silver colour. I was thinking about doing mine but I don't think it'd look as good against red.

As i have mentioned in another thread about spraying grills i did mine last weekend. upper, lower and fog surrounds.
If you are not sure about doing it i can only say you will not be sorry. It really does freshen the front end up no end.
One point is tho, i didnt sand mine or undercoat it as i wanted to keep the texture of the plastic.
Oh btw i did mine in satin black too, not gloss.
I dont think it will suit black cars tbh as the matt of the grill does give them a bit of contrast.

Looks good mate

 

[RSR182]

Is there any problem if you don't sand it?

Also has anybody tried to match it to the anthracite 182 wheels? Pics please! Not sure if I should go satin black or match.

 

[Leeshez]
