OK, so I know how I was wondering how to do the black grills for my car. Well now I figured out how to do it in just a couple of hours (paint curing time
) and under $20 dollars.
Materials
-Duplicolor Adhesion Promoter
-Duplicolor Trim Paint- i chose this as it gave a satin look
-Newspaper- duh
-3M 400 Grit Sandpaper
This all costed under 20 bucks, I think it was like 17 and change
Procedure
-Remove Grill (hardest part)
-Remove Chrome Trim from Matte Black Slats (meh)
-Scuff Chrome Trim- part that requires work- make sure all of the chrome has gotten hazy and/or dull.
-Spray Adhesion Promoter- I did four coats though the can says do 2-3. The can also says Spray Color within ten minutes of final coat.
-Spray Color Coat- mine was the Trim Paint but I suppose yours can be whatever. I did a total of eight coats. I waited a little more than ten minutes between coats.
I will post a better picture in the daylight but as for tonight... goodnight!
