LOL, the fogs looked like speakers without lenses. Anyway, the vid sounds pretty cool. Didn't even really notice the leaks.

lmao, you mean the projector fogs on the ground? They aren't finished. they are just sealed in with epoxy. i hadn't finished the front of em yet.

Actually, didn't still. Sent em to Chicoloco, but, i decided i'll break em back down to just the projectors when he sends em back with the headlights

it's straight forward. Mask off what you don't want painted with blue painters tape, then tape down some newspaper.

BUT MAKE SURE YOU USE THE SUNDAY PAPER! Saturdays ink is strange. (beer)

then, i took a scotchbrite pad just to scuff up the stock paint so the new paint has something to grab hold off

then, throw dowm some coats of whatever finish you choose, just make sure it is BBQ grille paint so it can withstand the heat from teh exhaust

Pulled my moldings, looks great. Need to get photos, maybe tomorrow.

[frank354]

just put two coats on of rustoleum bbq paint and its not looking like all of yours its kinda faded light black. any tips...maybe a coat of black gloss?

 

[mx-p5]

i used a flat black on my cars, so no gloss at all.

The pics don't show what it "really" looks like

 

[justanothermp5]

yea flat black makes it look like it came from the factory like that

like its a plastic trim piece, i like the way it looks

 

[frank354]

yeah it was just the lighting in my garage that gave it a faded look.

heres some pics
