Painted my grills and numbers black

Black Leopard · 03-21-2009, 08:42 PM

I used andyffer's Kidney Grill DIY. It worked out great (thanks andyffer)!

I noticed it peeling from some areas but nothing a second coat can't fix.

Lemme know what you guys think

Enjoy the pics

Grills look really good, makes me wonder why I paid 55 bucks for what you did for free :|

Dude, if you ever plan on being married in the near future .......... DO NOT purchase a black car.

Been married ......... been there ...... no longer married ........ still have the car.
