    Didn't like how much paint I had on the grill so after wet sanding it all perfect I scraped everything off
    Square one!

    I'll sand it all smooth to bare plastic again and do it right. Again.

    Hadn't noticed any extra power but I really haven't smashed the gas yet. I'll do it in the way home

    I had not!

    Seeing the 4bt in a second gen is really encouraging! It's nice to know it can be done with our heavily computerized trucks

    Scraped the grill down to the plastic

    4023A48A-0523-47BE-9EE4-63BCF370E324.jpg

    Sanded with 80 grit and got every bit of the paint off

    Primer went down smooth as silk

    But I did accidently touch the wet paint with the bottom of the can. I'll just sand it out. Should be done tonight or tomorrow with any luck.

    First coat went down nice and even

    49EF5D6B-3698-4D6D-93EC-37B25E06DBB0.jpg

    Second coat even smoother!

    Very happy with how this is coming out. I think one... Maybe two more coats of black should do it.
