    EXT: DIY Grill

    i finally done my grill today with in 3hrs but i need to put a clear coat on it but tha hells wit it lol.

    I done this in tha wind today so don't try itit's not bad but u gotta kno what ur doing kinda. And i use bursts of sprays so that it would stick quicker and then i let it dry for a few mins. then sprayed in HOrazotal line cross ways. let dry then Vert. let dry theh burst again and i did this with not clear coat but imma prob. do more grilles tryin Sh*ts out. Like next im try to put flakes in and a metallic look. PRactice Practice Practice Feels like a Tagger= person who does Graffiti

        Looks great, but without clearcoat I doubt that paint will stand up to the bugs...but props for a good looking grill

              I did something similar, only in black (for obvious reasons)...
              Looks good mane, get up some whole front pics with it on, instead of close-ups.

                    im doing my vents in the morning and imma take pics .but wit a real ditigal camera cuz i took all thoses on my cell phone cuz it was optional at the time. which means i have to get my lazy A** up in the morning and go to Wal-Mart for a cam,and either get my paint from Wal-Mart or a Auto place such as AutoZone,Napa,Advanced or Sheran-Williams which is right beside napa hhehe.
