    Painted my grille

    I painted my grille and head ligth bezels and it looks awsome i ll put pics up later but here is how i did for anyone that wants to know i unscrewed the grille and head light bezels from the header panel and brought it in to my garage and taped the areas up where i didnt want to paint to get on it and use an exacto or a utility knife ( thats what i used) to cut around the edges to make fine straight lines and than i proceeded to prep the metal with some 220 sand paper onlyo nthe chrome pieces i wanted to paint and than paint thinned all of the pieces i want to paint than i went to walmart and got specfic paint its called Krylon fusion (the noprep, superbond paint) {i prpeed just in case} amd its says for plastic its not in the autmotive section but spray paint section u can go with any color took me a day and 2 cans but thats because i wanted it perfect which i almost got and it looks asweosome with a new emblem pics tonigt or 2morrow


    but when u paint make shure u paint ti sanding up on both sides laying down and when the ford emblem would be udside down to get all areas
