Plasti-dipped chrome grills black, but kept some chrome
As the title states, I blacked out the grills...not completely though. The chrome grills are two parts, blacked out the front one, but left the back ones chrome. Came out pretty well I think, the black plasti-dip worked awesome and looks great too. Drove it 90 miles, looks great, went into a car wash with it, still looks great!
First two pics are original The next two are the chrome grills resting in place (these are the ones that got painted), not popped in... didnt want to do it because the chrome ones seem like a PITA to remove when clipped in... anyone know an easy way to remove those ones with the thick slats because the thin black/chrome original ones I had were real easy with sliding your fingers in... cant really do this with those. The rest are the chrome/black mix that I painted... let me know your thoughts, dont think I have seen anyone do it like this... Head on it looks all black, with a closer look its got some chrome accents. Also, just got my windows tinted which you can kind of see in the last picture, 32% on the sides and 22% on the rear windshield to give it a little darker inside. This came out well, hard to tell from that pic though. Last edited by syl2us; 05-20-2010 at 10:52 PM.. |
