DIY - Painting front Grill

  Top of Page

Hello all,

as the chrome on my front grill of my BH is chipping I decided it needed to be cleaned up.

I bought some Holts Matte Black aerosol paint and some plastic primer from Repco. I used wet and dry sand paper and prepared the surface and then applied some light coats of the primer. Then carefully spraying the black trying not to press the nossle too hard to prevent runs. Worked out much better than I had expected with no runs at all. On the car, it looks much tidier.

I took a few shots, was getting dark, so the shots arent the best! Let me know what you think.
