    Magnum in early a

    How should i paint 65 barracuda grill?

    [64physhyPersonally, I like it body color, but would be interested in seeing one in chrome.] Here's mine - first shot is pretty much as I bought it. Second shot is after a lot of detail work and I painted the grill black - which happens to be body color too. :icon_smi: Made my decision easier
