if i take out the chrome grill outline and paint it with red high temp spray paint do you think it will come out right? or should i try to find one off a wrecked car and test it first?

What do you mean by "come out right?" If you're asking about how the paint will look, that's a matter of your skill with a rattle can and of personal opinion regarding red trim.

You are doing what that one guy had the other day aren't you?

Well he did it so I am sure it is possible.

i'm going to a shop in a bit to get the supplies.

looks like the gli/gti grill which is mad sexy.

The process would be cake:

remove grille
remove trim from grille
prep
spray
clear coat
reinstall

This guy posted a few days ago with his just like how you want yours.

To quote a reply to it:
I agree it's a bit off. I had an idea very similar to this. I painted part of mine red (i'll post pics later) so that it's subtle but there.

how do people do yhose pictures where the hood is see through??

sorry don't mean to thread jack, I think the red paint looks good

captainlaziness

Velocity, I really like the partial red trim. Looks better to me than having the entire trim piece red.

Thanks guys for the props.

The hood thing is done with 2 pictures in the same position (with tripod) and are photoshopped together. If you know photoshop (like me ) it's really very easy.

Just get the Figure Grillz.....lol

for the clear hood

all you do is take 2 pix one with hood open and one with hood closed then you just PS it together =)
