Hello everyone, been reading your forums for a while and found them very helpful, so i thought i'd register and post some pics of my first mod.
My Kidney Grille had a stain on it that was bothering me, so i thought i might as well have the whole thing painted. Here are the results.

Would love to hear your thoughts on the Grille.
 
Daemonblitz - Welcome to the forum! Your car is beautiful! The painted grills - I wasn't sure at the thought of it, but having seen the photos, look slick on your car. It's different, not seen a car in a colour other than black, with grills matching the bodywork colour. :)

What paint did you use?
 
Thanks, glad you like it.
The outer rings i did myself, sanded down the chrome, 3 coats of primer, 3 coats of paint, 3 coats of clearcoat. I used aerosol can paint, Dupli-Color is the brand name. There are a bunch of DIYs for painting grills out there if you are interested in doing it yourself.
I had a shop spray the red, and it turned out great, matches the Imola red perfectly.
 
looking good!

just wondering why your pictures are sooo bright?. oh yes, thats it you have sunshine over there!
 
Hi there, and welcome. Great looking car - Imola red looks awesome in bright sunshine. However, whilst you've obtained an excellent finish on the grills, I'm afraid I don't like it on the car. Looks a little like a bloodied nose! :D
 
Hi, and welcome. Best colour of course :D Not sure about the grill, might be better all red or all black (as mine) still it's a 'new' mod I've not seen before and so as long as you like it :thumbsup:
 
Agree not a fan of the grill at all, but the car is lush, the coupe is such a good looking car, IMO it 100% will be a future classic, such a nice shape and its not dated at all, love it.
