i dont get those. the pics just show up

???????????
I don't get it either. When I upload pictures, I use the attachment tool. I use the browse function to pull the picture files from my photos folder. I keep uploading until I have all of the attachments in the upload tool's "manage current attachment" area. I then click on the jpeg attachments that I have uploaded one by one, which puts them in the draft post. Once they are in the draft post, I stack them as mentioned above.

Did you click the upload button?

Great job . How did you do it? Sand, primer, color, clearcoat? I wanna try it too. Did you take the trim off the car to paint?

yea not bad for a chick with a can of paint!! I will finish the trim but not this week or even next week.

Hey, your 530's lookin' better and better!

Question: did you paint a set of bone-stock shiny grilles? And if yes, can you tell me what paint to use, so that it does not come off?


Thanks for the post

Thanks for the post
I did paint a set of bone stock chrome grilles. I sanded them lightly. Nothing crazy, the chrome was still on just roughed it up. Wash it with dish soap. Use the same paint mentioned above. Put a lot of coats on and then a dupli color clear coat to protect it!

pm me if you want more help.

Thank you. I did take the the trim and the grilles off the car. I got a 3m sanding block and sanded the trim. Then washed it with dish soap, dried it. Painted with dupli color semi glass black acrylic paint. No clear coat on the trim. Light coats until it was done.

If anyone is interested i would do the work for you. Send me the kidneys, i'll paint em and send it back. You pay shipping and give me like 10 dollars. shipping both ways couldnt be more than 15 dollars. OEM grille's painted black for 25-35 dollars.

Ok I'll give it a try on my spare set - just like you said, will show off the results.
Thanks for the 4-1-1

Half and half doesn't look bad on a AW car. Grills looks good.
