Yeah. I kinda half assed my paint job. lol

I always had this thing where the paint would turn white when it rained. so when it was wet, the grilles had white splotches all over them. But they cleared up once they dried up.

I hope the same thing doesnt happen to you

Either way... The crappy black looked way better than the chrome
