SO I AM GETTING RID OF ALL THE CHROME ON THE CAR AND BLACKING THIS CAR OUT. SO TODAY I PAINTED THE GRILL.

STOCK OEM 2001 LEXUS IS300 MODEL GRILL



PRODUCTS: SOME FINE (600 GRID) SAND PAPER AND SOME PAINT FOR CARS.

STEP 1: SAND DOWN THE CHROME AND AS MUCH OF THE GREY AS POSSIBLE.



STEP 2: 6 LIGHT COATS (4 FRONT, 2 BACK). 1/2 HOUR BETWEEN COATS.



BACK ON THE CAR. WILL GET BETTER PICS ONCE I WASH MY CAR. BLACK IS ALWAYS DIRTY.



OH AND THE END OF THIS SUMMER ONCE I BUY MY BODY KIT I AM GETTING A FULL NEW PAINT JOB. SO IGNORE THE ROCK CHIPS.



HERE YOU GO!!!!
