Redid my Grille

[Scotty J.]

The ford oval is now black instead of blue, and I repainted the honeycomb gloss black again.

i did the same thing. definitely makes the front end look a lot better.

how did you make it black. i want to do it to mine. does it peel off the chrome part with heat? i thought mine was a solid piece that had little nipples that went though the grille.

You can either do it yourself or buy them. DIY or if you're lazy like me, just pay someone to do it Colored Emblems

i did the DIY route, its no harder than pulling your headlights apart.

Was it hard to paint the honeycomb?

I have been debating about doing that on my F-150, it is starting fade kind of weird.

its a 3 step process:

1. go to local hard ware store

2. buy can of spray paint in color choice

3. remove grill from vehicle and paint

 

[Scotty J.]

Remove grill, soak in hot soapy water, rinse and clean with a grease remover, I used Krylon Fusion Gloss Black for paint, reinstall grill.

i didnt even clean mine and used the same paint. the honeycomb is so porous that the paint sticks to it like magic.
