body color grille

Began stripping the chrome-foil-stuff off an old 88 grille I had from when I hit  deer in the maroon 'Bird, the grille has a few tiny cracks in it, not very visible, let alone when they'll be under some paint...

Anyway, I'm gonna get it all down to bare plastic, sand it a little and paint it white, then put it on the white 'Bird, make it stand out a little...
Kinda been thinkin' about painting the insides of the holes on the wheels black, too.

The next step will be to get some of the rust off the doors, so far it's just surface rust, gonna stop it before it spreads

Both my grilles will be painted body color.. but the grille on the '86 needs to be modified first. The '88's grille will just be the same green I intend to put on that car, no modifications. I'm still deciding what material to use inside the grille of the '86.. that part will be painted black, while the bulk of the grille will be light blue.
