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.

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

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?

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.

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.
