Pics in OP don't work..

But welcome! And that's a cute picture lol.

iverson3yoo · 04-12-2011, 10:15 AM

OP? I can only think of original post? I know...Photobucket's site is down or something, when the site is back up I'm sure the pics will be back.

Verbiage · 04-12-2011, 10:45 AM

Yes original post is correct

And I guess could have taken a little more time to actually read the Photobucket message inside of those little boxes saying that the site was down.

iverson3yoo · 04-13-2011, 08:42 PM

paint, sandpaper...$8
time...1 hour
black kidney grilles...aggressivvveee

Gonna do the lower grille this weekend and hopefully my shadowline will be here as well so knock that out too.

Awesome color combo!

Those grills look hot, was it very easy to repaint the grills? Did you just use black spray paint, and what grit sandpaper did you use?

It looks 10x better in person. It was very easy, I used matte black spray paint 220, 320, and 400 grit in that order. There is a very good DIY I used in this forum. I'll find the link and post it.

Well done man. I'm always amazed when people do work like this on their cars. I'm not brave or confident enough.

Thanks man. What I've learned over the years is patience and paying attention to details is the most important. Its always more work/time if you try to rush through it and f*** up and do it again, rather than doing it right the first time. And practice, practice, practice... muscle memory.

awesome man looks just like mine, except i have Black interior

Solid advice. I used to have a friend who was extremely knowledgeable about cars, but he passed away years ago. He built Jeeps, Sammy's, pulled engines, etc. If it's electronic/computer related, I can handle it. If it's related to automotive, I'm lost.

I think it also comes down to commitment. I've never been really interested in learning to do things like that and enjoy stock vehicles. I jump around with cars often, so can't see myself really investing a lot into one time wise. Well, either way you modders sure make for lively threads. Thanks.
