what kind of paint did you use to spray on your grills to prevent it from rusting too soon??also, what color do you guys think would look right with a crystal blue lude?

I had mine painted to match the car color.
Prime it first then Paint it ..few layers then ..clear coat it a few layers.

can you buy one of those upper front grills anywhere? If on ebay where? I think it looks tight, I was thinking of either doing a grill or painting the black pastic grill that comes with the 98

i painted my grill, i thouht it'd look cool but now i regret painting it... so i repainted it black, but it doesnt have that plastic look anymore.. maybe chrome paint would've looked better? meh i dunno =-T

here's a pic of my grill when i painted it, DONT DO IT =-P it looks weird to me

prelude 1897, how did you put a grill on the part where the hood comes down?? i got my homedepot grill, and it looks fine too, but i wanna do that part to make it "complete" and do you have the really small holed grill, cause i got the half-penny sized grill. ur's looks pretty .. btw, mine is white, i used a high gloss latex paint. so i dont' need a top coat over it.

Yeah I painted mine red and it sucked so I painted it back black hehe. I like the gloss black paint better than the plastic texture/color because it actually blends in with my paint pretty well.

Thats not my car, thats nyluder's car. I was asking him the same thing on how he made it....

ill paint it, ill scuff it use a anti rust and then prime it and paint it the color of your car and ill even clear coat it, i paint cars for a living. ill do it for $30 and you pay to ship it to me and back.

BoYgUaN · 03-12-2002, 05:34 PM

the hood looks like it needs to be held together or it will fall apart. wht happened to your stock hood?
