Vbelisle Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 picz of it vyniled? ok here is a good comparison, The RZA is on the left and his is painted and mine is on the right and mine in vinyl. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n227/OOOVICT0ROOO/DSC_0004-1.jpg and here is one a little closer http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n227/OOOVICT0ROOO/DSC_0119.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerboa113 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 looks good to me. I will look into this. Did you do it yourself? I could probably go to a tint/vynil shop and have it done.. but I have no idea what they'd charge.

I could probably go to a tint/vynil shop and have it done.. but I have no idea what they'd charge. I did do it myself and its not 100% perfect but its good enough for me. It was real easy to do and I like that I can change it up and make the wings chrome again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BagheeraLGT Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 here is a look at my front end. The grill is a Fiberglass piece by R Rev color matched to OBP. Headlights are cleared and blacked out. enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin1657615274 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Painted mine with: 1 can Plastikote Plastic Primer (#469) 1 can Plastikote Metal Flake - Black (#320) Took off the wings, sanded them as well as the chrome outline, and painted the entire grill assembly with the badge taken off, while painting the wings separately. Re-assembled it a day later, and the color is perfect, looks OEM.

In the testing phase right now, haven't had any problems yet, but the grill got painted maybe a month ago. On the search for a new DD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostin1657615274 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 where is that paint sold? Plastikote Metal Flake isn't easy to find, but I did manage to find it locally. Carquest carries their product line. But, I live near a Carquest distribution center, so it was a little easier to get a hold of; if you live near a small Carquest you may need to special order it. Oh, and don't waste money on the Clear Coat, I never ended up using it. On the search for a new DD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalyst Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Definitely do a clear coat. I've had my grill through the winter of last year and not a single rock chip on it. "This is an adventure." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverstar Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Silverstar, where did you get your mesh? I think it was www.customcargrilles.com Or something like that. It's the 3D mesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverstar Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 yea where did you get it, looks great... if you put some bondo on the edge you wouldn't tell it was the oem one.... great job! I wasn't sure about smoothing out the edge, I was worried I wouldn't get it even enough. Perhaps I'll pick up another stocker and try it out.
