that blows... so are you just color matching it or something different

Still planning on copying Braydon and Scott's grilles, just spent te money on better quality paint (the gray will actually match lol)to do it the right way

While I was waiting for the paint to dry I tried my hand at something new

I was hoping to do a marble effect with the pink on the color matched pieces under her hood cause I thought it would be easier
I was wrong
With a little more work and more/better stencils I think itll turn out pretty good

Oh ya, that will look sweet with the gray and black.

Finally got some color on it

Planning in wetsanding and spraying another coat or two
I have a spot that the primer has been cracking off of, hopefully it sticks this time

looks good man, Im about 80% done with my interior and when im done I dont wanna see another can of paint of a piece of sand paper for about a month at least haha

 

[Stangshcky12]

I started adding how much I've spent in primer, paint and clear and it hurt my head lol

 

[the codes]

oh dude tell me about it! I litterally smacked myself in the back of the head today when I added my own expenses for my interior **** up! I for one think sand paper is outrageously overpriced..haha

 

[Stangshcky12]

Scuff pads! Lol
Idk why I thought it would be a good idea to stop and get another can on spraymax clear today, $65 later I walked out with 2 more cans of primer and trim paint too haha

its unbelievable how it adds up lol..same thing happened to me today haha

 

[Stangshcky12]

Well I gave up on the grille a little bit ago
I've spent to much time and money on it, girfriend probably would like it any way
Idk if I'm to particular or if I just suck haha
Maybe I'll finish it over thanksgiving break

I've spent close almost 24 of the past 36 hours painting
I don't like to start new threads but I feel like this night be worth some attention

Spraymax 2k seems like its worth the money so far
More pics to come...

 

[TexasRammer]

Cody... that truly is bad ass! You need another thread for that and put up some installed pics when finished... Im sure with that work you were just being picky with the grille lol

 

[the codes]

and I know you know I feel your pain on the painting..haha

I wanna see installed pics as well!

[Stangshcky12]

thats awesome man, wanna do mine? lol

With the amount of time I had into the grille and all the fumes I probably huffed the past two days I don't want to paint or sand anything for awhile haha

 

[Stangshcky12]

I forgot till I saw it this morning, I re-tinted her cab lights last night whole
I was clear coating everything (faded BAD after just shy of a year)

 

[Stangshcky12]

Looking for a set of stockers without chips or cracks to mod with LED
