    Freshened up the front...(Grill). 1 pic

    So, it was a nice day finally....been wanting to repaint my center grill black since rock chips had chrome showing again...decided to take whole grill apart and respray everything, including the lil metal circles around the headlights...looks better. Also got my drivers side air duct back in/painted.
    I am feening for a iS lip also...sigh...

      Did you scrape off all the chrome chips off or just go over it?

          yea...I cant rattle can my valence...that'd be pretty ugly...maybe a cheap maaco or something...gonna wait till i get a iS lip..i'd imagine its gonna be a diff color.

          and no...chrome is still there...just sanded/scuffed it...and painted it...paint sticks for about 6 months...

          the way i look at it...3.50$ for flat black paint...and 1 hour every 6 months...is worth it.

            You might as well rattle can the valence and bumper, i don't think it's possible to make it look worse than it already does. I mean you already have your plastics painted anyway so why not. Do work


            Actually just hit up the junkyard for stock parts to replace the ones that should never have been painted anyway.
