I went to town with 220 grit all over the damn thing. Primed twice and painted. Its still a little soft.
If it does chip off I couldnt care less, I will just keep hitting it with paint untill I get a bumper made.
FYI if anyone cares, under the factory black on the grill is chrome!
Does anyone know how to get off the plastic triangles on the door to access the mirror bolts? I was trying to pry them off but I didnt want to break them.

Heh, the gloss blue is staying put. The plan is to redo the intire thing with roll on interlux brightside. A buddy of mine wants to do his a too beater with black roll on, nice car to practice on

Thanks Deathcouger.
Its gonna be nice for the next few days, so my plan is to do the mirrors and window trim next. Not sure if im gonna do the handles yet, I want to see if this tremclad holds up.

Haha, yes. But no, I've been having problems with YT recently and making posts and sending PMs. It never refreshes saying I made the actual post or message, it just keeps working and working and looks like the server is down. I'll work on that picture
Whoooooooopsies

I'm willing to host some photos if necessary, temporarily. I run my own server so I can do. PM me and give me your email, then I'll contact you so you can email them to me and I'll upload them and give you the URL to use with the IMG tag.

Mines been doing that lately too, seems wierd. I think it has to do with the fact that my computer just isn't up with the times.

I blacked all my chrome out a while ago and I love it! Looks good Jay! And Traben, I'm honestly jealous....I had a black one a year and a half ago, got totaled. I wish I still had it and it looked like that....
