i did take grill off and for you do that you would also need to take the bumper off. it took me and my buddy about an hour just to do that (not knowing where or what needs to be unscrewed). i suggest you just mask everything and anything around the grill with newspaper + painters tape and just spray,it'll be a lot easier that way.Did you take the grill off?

I'm doing mine right now, did you cover up the emblem? I ordered a red emblem when it arrives sometime late next week or the following week.i did take grill off and for you do that you would also need to take the bumper off. it took me and my buddy about an hour just to do that (not knowing where or what needs to be unscrewed). i suggest you just mask everything and anything around the grill with newspaper + painters tape and just spray,it'll be a lot easier that way.
the emblem came off and is not part of the grill when i took apart the front end.I'm doing mine right now, did you cover up the emblem? I ordered a red emblem when it arrives sometime late next week or the following week.
do you think that if i dont remove the grille, it'd be harder to get inside and wouldnt be even looking?i did take grill off and for you do that you would also need to take the bumper off. it took me and my buddy about an hour just to do that (not knowing where or what needs to be unscrewed). i suggest you just mask everything and anything around the grill with newspaper + painters tape and just spray,it'll be a lot easier that way.
Just finished mine, I didn't remove the bumper just make sure you cover the little gaps don't want it to get on the intercooler. I did about 8 coats, but I only used one can, not sure if I didn't apply enough. Overall I'm happy with it, some spots I didn't cover too well and got plasti dip in the cracks and I couldn't really get it out. Have to wait for my red emblem to finish off the look.do you think that if i dont remove the grille, it'd be harder to get inside and wouldnt be even looking?
there would be spots that you wont be able to spray into and itll be the same areas where it wont be noticable until you really get close and look. so i wont be bothered by the hidden areas if i were you.do you think that if i dont remove the grille, it'd be harder to get inside and wouldnt be even looking?

DONT use masking tape. it'll leave residue on your paint. use painters blue tape like i mentioned lollooks good! how long did that take you? you used masking tape and newspaper?
oh ok. i thought masking take was the same thing as painters tape. LOL.. thanks.DONT use masking tape. it'll leave residue on your paint. use painters blue tape like i mentioned lol
I used blue painters tape and newspaper. it took me about 1-1/2 hours I did a coat every 10-15 mins. I also put the spray can in warm water too.looks good! how long did that take you? you used masking tape and newspaper?
Lowes doesn't have that satinizer. But they have a glossifier. What do u think?DONT use masking tape. it'll leave residue on your paint. use painters blue tape like i mentioned lol
check Home depot if you can. if not, then FYI, glossifier will turn it glossy not matte. not sure how you want it to turn out.Lowes doesn't have that satinizer. But they have a glossifier. What do u think?
