My woman and I went to the beach for our anniversary. Epic berms and dunes.

Then went to have some lunch.

Then we went to a local car show, and we saw a cool little trail rig

Awesome, this will work! Now if I can just paint the grill without getting runs/drips?!?!

It's easier if you remove it then clean it up. Also use a primer it helps out alot..

Great work 28., looks awesome! My next project will be the roof rack and silver panels front and rear. I am apprehensive about taking the roof rack off however due to potential leaking. Did you use any sort of silicone or sealant when you reinstalled the rack?
 
^^^

No i just tightened them down. Only way I could see them leaking is if you were to leave the bolts VERY loose. So far I've painted everything that was silver on mine with metallic black. I can't strss enough to use a spray on bonding primer. Makes the job ALOT easier and just holds up much better. Apply a couple of coats letting each coat dry before aplying the next one. NEVER try to completely cover the object your painting with one coat. Paint will run for sure. I applied 2 coats of primer and about 4 coats of paint on mine..
 
I would post some good shots of your work to help let people see what kind of fit and finish you have on yours.
