Got My Cat Painted! ! - 56k BEWARE - ! July 19, 2006, 08:42:01 PM I just blacked out the grille myself. The bodywork was done by my stepdad and I. I also painted over the chrome on the bumper and the bumper black itself. Also, I did not like the side stripping stuff, so I pulled it off as you can see. I need to paint over some of the chome again, but it held well overall (was just from the tape). I will be adding the turbines I bought and some BF Goodrich Radial TAs next paycheck.Well!What does everyone think! Quote Selected

Take the headlight housing out, that plastic piece in front of the headlights and paint the silver/grey part black and leave the chrome strip that goes around the outside. Quote Selected

Got My Cat Painted! ! - 56k BEWARE - ! Reply #10 – July 20, 2006, 12:27:59 AM I like it. Paint the headlight buckets. Personally I would have left the outer rim of the grill chrome and painted the headlight buckets to go with a kinda theme. Lookos great though. Quote Selected

Got My Cat Painted! ! - 56k BEWARE - ! Reply #12 – July 20, 2006, 10:50:45 AM I agree with the wet sanding/buffing. It is time consuming but it will make your paint look three feet deep.Nice car. Can't wait to see it with the new wheels and tires. Quote Selected
