Taking Bella Donna to her first car show on Sunday. Well 2 n half hours worth due to I have work.

Today I painted my Billet Grill Black, De-Chromed my Boat Horns, & Mini Compressor and blacked them out.

I am really waiting for my rims to get back from Power Coat. If that happens I'll be PSYCHHHED!

how did you do it , just out of curiosity

Supplies 600 Grit Sandpaper
few clean shop towels
A Cleaner/Degreaser from an autobody supply store (needed to where chemical proof gloves and mask) I had niether...just mother nature. But I did wear long sleeves and doubled up on regular gloves
Adhesion Promoter
High Gloss Hi-Temp Engine Paint (its the only high gloss paint they had at autozone at the time


1) Sand it down real good
2) Wipe it down
3) Sprayed the Cleaner on and let it sit
4) I have a Compressor with a Air Blow fitting so I blew it dry and then wiped it down
5) Sprayed Adhesion Promoter
6) Then painted it like 4-5 coats on each side. I know it much but I'm **** :) and shit from mother nature kept gettin on there. REALLY NEED A BOOTH.

In b/w coats i let dry for 1-2 hours
Final coat I let dry for 3-4 hours

I did all of that with my boat horns and compressor too.

Its raining...I hope it holds!

Cost me like 14 bucks!

since when did you get your cowl hood on? damn i havent been on here enough :(

Dude...its been on...wait till you see my 22" Chip Foose Speedsters come back from Powder Coat. I had to hammer out the 168 plastic studs so they wouldn;t melt in the process. I'm afraid to order them b/c I have to hammer them in and I don't mess up the paint!

I like the look a lot. You're going to leave the chrome trim around the grille and headlights as is right? I think it looks perfect as it is currently so I hope you don't black out the front any further. Nice job!

Spoke to soon...Headlights are getting blacked out.

I ordered AVS Headlight Covers...should be in this week! They well make my Headlights look one piece so I'm psyched! THERE IS NO AFTERMARKET HEADLIGHTS OPTIONS FOR THIS FRONT END!

We'll see.

I still need LED Tail lights and Covers. I will NOT tint 15o Tail lights, tint my 3rd brake lights and then tint my LED Light bar and fogs.

They do a lil, if you stand right above the truck it tucks underneath the FF. as soon as you go around the edges they stick out a lil more.
