Grumpy the Rally Van

Nice! Can't wait to see those pics. I have been throwing around the idea of painting rims and grill myself.

I'm really digging the black grill, makes Grumpy look so much tougher.

I guess we'll have to take your word for it...

[ihatemybike]

Hey now, I was going to glue the bow tie back in and take a pic, but we went out for pizza yesterday instead.

[Smiliesafari]

Pizza!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man, Your prioritys are a bit screwed up. WE WANT PICS

[ihatemybike]

I just glued it in, do you want pics of the blue tape over everything?

[ihatemybike]

Stock wagon wheels don't look too bad in red.


One more coat should do it.

Need to find a fifth matching rim though. Anyone want to give me one?

[ihatemybike]

Grumpy looking meaner.


Sorry for the cell phone pic.

[tinytherhino]

Looks good!!

[LiftedAWDAstro]

I like it as well.

[Smiliesafari]

Yup.........me too.

[chemist]

have you changed the ignition coil yet?

[ihatemybike]

Yeah, I swapped Green's coil in for a couple days. No change.

Wow, that black grille does look great. A buddy told me to do that to mine right after I lifted it and I rolled my eyes, shook my head.

How much did you prep it? Primer too, or just paint. What kind of paint?

Oh, and thanks for the props on Expo.

[ihatemybike]

To prep I cleaned it really good, then wiped it down with acetone. The black paint is Krylon Fusion for plastic. The red is regular Rustoleum, cause I was painting the rims with it too.
