Grilles Painted SILVER !!!
Grilles Painted SILVER !!!
Hey Everyone, I got around to doing something I've been wanting to to for awhile now: Re-finish my Grille and two lower grilles. I got silver color match paint (Auto-zone) and meticulously painted them. The outcome is beyond my expectations, the lower grilles totally change how the car looks! This is a fantastic opportunity, as there are no other pictures on this forum of someone who has painted their grille and lower grilles in silver. Please enjoy these pictures!

Re: Grilles Painted SILVER !!!
I'm getting ready to have everything thats painted silver done in House of Kolor's Kosmic Krome. It should look just like our inside door pulls when done. The grill is going to have the leading edge filled in to blend with the rest of the grille. Then I'm going to Kosmic Krome it too. The back part of the grill that ramps up to hide the radiator will be painted black to hide the ramp. The wheels will get left alone. I want new wheels anways. If the Kosmic Krome works out well I'll do the console as well.
