Thank you I will look for some of that or something similar if I can't find it

another question about the vht paint did you have to heat it up or did you just leave it to dry ?

[timmy850]

I followed this guide, but I didn't use any heat (it was 25+ degrees in the garage that day). It takes a while to crinkle up though, long enough to make you think you stuffed it up!

Dude, before you paint the grille, take a couple of photos and ask the guys to play around with photoshop for you. It'd be cool to see what routes you can take, especially as you're working with a blank canvas now.

[Jared Mk3]

What you mean? Grille?

[Vinay-RS]

Nah, the bonnet dude. Since it isn't painted yet.

You said grille, so was confused. Maybe, but I'm going to go blue, like the body.

Lol sorry. Super fail on my part Yeah blue will fit the clean look well.
