Painted Grille surround!!!!

So i painted my grille surround today WHITE! to match my truck color, i got the paint from O'Reilys that said it was Super White II which was supposed to match my truck perfectly but i doubt it! Kinda didn't paint the grille right, was a lot of paint running but fuck it, will be posting a couple of pics of the finished product as soon as it dries up!

 

omg AFTER TAKING OFF THE TAPE, PAINT KEPT COMING OFF WITH IT. wowww I MESSED UP THE FKIN GRILL BADD!!!!! PAINT GOT TO WHERE SOME BLACK PARTS WERE AT..WOW JUST A TOTAL MESS

 

Sounds pretty bad man...

 

I just had a similar occurrence while painting my engine cover.

Look at the MESS (ITS NIGHT OUT SO PICS. KINDA SUCK)!!

 

yikes!!!

 

the color matches though

 

lol good point, looks like it does!

 

Hey if you want to start ALL over just get some Aircraft Remover. It will take off the chrome along with the paint.

 

Yeah i think im gonna do that tomorrow! my parents were all pist off cause it came out shitty haha but whatever ill try and fix it!

 

Just remember to read the directions 3 times or more. Because I screwed up a few times.
And make sure you can use it on plastic
Your supposed to wait for it to bubble then HOSE off. lol

 

Good try. It's always a learning experience. You'll do better next time.

 

Thanks man!

 

When you use rattle can paint, always use several light misting coats first, let that dry to the touch. You can then start to add it a little heaver, again using several coats to get the finish you want. Take your time. As for masking parts, 3M blue painters masking tape is about as good as it gets, don't skimp on tape.
