We had a little extra paint so I figured I would try this out.
Saw a post where someone had done it last week and it really sets the chrome off and the clear lights.
Only had a cell phone at the time here are some pics
Its an acrylic enamel paint, we were spraying something else and had some left over.I also removed the smoked bug shield and painted that same color it was looking worn out
Looks great. Makes me want some clear headlights, and I like how you went for the glossy look.
I agree ford should have painted the grille black from the factory, the argent doesnt agree with the bumper trim very well.
Here's a shot from when I painted my grill black. I used Krylon Fusion for plastic, that stuff works great.
I painted bug shield too, it was old and worn and covering a ding in the front of hood. So without fixing hood and painting etc. I descided to repaint the shield for now so It does not look so bad
it took me about an hr to tape it up, and i had chitty tape to work with. about 20-25 mins to sand it down them sprayed three coats of black on it, once one was dry to the touch i did the next. all done it was only like a two hour job plus drying time
i would have had it done much quicker but the tape i used was old and chitty it kept tearing when i didnt want it to and wasnt flexable anymore. i shoulda just went out and got some good tape but i was feelin kinda lazy ointlaugh:
