I say resto mod because the color isn't period correct. I wanted to do base clear and keep the silver and black. I had some leftover SPI black and universal clear, so I was on the hunt for a silver. I decided on Dodge PS2. I really liked that silver.

I scuffed it with 400 grit, epoxied primer (again, left over) sanded that with 600 and shot the silver base. After that dried I taped off everything that would remain silver and shot the black.

Let it sit overnight and shot the clear. I'm really pleased with how it came out.

Thanks, guys! The trick to masking this grill is pin striping tape. It's flexible and leaves a great edge.
 
Wow!!! That looks amazing! 100x better than my console...

Pin striping tape is a good idea, ive been wanting to do my grill and my tail panel.

Do you use a spray gun to do it all?

Thanks! Yes, I did it with a gun. I have a devilbiss Techna Prolite, but honestly, if you have a good compressor a mid grade gun is fine for starting out. I started with the Eastwood Concourse LT. I still have it and use it for primer now.
