So I had a day off yesterday, and thought I'd do some cosmetic mods to the car. Kudos to AnthonyTDCi's "On my day off I.." thread for giving the idea.
Started off by getting paint mixed from autobarn, some K&H plasti-primer, clear top coat, wet 600,1200 and 120 grit. Idea was to colour code the side strips on the focus. Well here are the pics:
How it started off as:
Masked, Sanded with wet 600 grit and then primed (I should've tried taking the side mouldings off but couldn't be bothered so just masked it hahaha):
Painted:
End Result with clear top coat:
Went experimentation overboard and decided to do the chrome grill as well. Figured since I was thinking of getting the carbon fibre grill off EP, might as well try paint it black first and see if will last or just chip off. So here are the results
Sanded with wet 120 grit, primed and then painted black:
End Results of the painted grill:
Well thought I'd share if people were interested in doing it as well. Shall update if there are any peeling of the paint.
