painted grills


I noticed in the painted mirrior thread that mediaultra had his grill painted tomatch the color of his stang and it really looked nice. I was wondering if that has to be done professionally or can you do it yourself?

yes man, you just spray it, take if off the car if you can, so you dont end up spraying your car. Get one of thoes spay cans from local auto shop. Shake well and spray, get app. paint for your grill, dont get paint for plastic if you grill is matel.
