Been painting my RRS S/C front grill

It was all silver, so decided to paint the surround Java Black, goes better with my Orange RRS as there's a fair bit of black detailing around it. Notice the decals ? Won't be seen when bonnet down. Ready to lacquer tomorrow

I like it

What paint did you use, I am going to do mine, can I use standard java black in a can from halfords and do I put a clear coat on it as well?

Halfords own brand plastic primer, Java Black and lacquer. Got mixed pack of wet & dry, used 400 on plastic, then 800, primed and used 1200 between coats. 3 coats of each, 15 mins between each coat then overnight for between colour & lacquer . approx £22[/b] i can make the same stickers to go on before lacquer coat if you want  RR Sport Supercharged Vesuvius Orange 4.2 V8 First edition

I didn't like the V8 inside when I first saw it but then realised you could only see it when the bonnet opened and for some reason I really like it now - quite cool really  TDV8 HSE, Remap (+45 BHP + 100 Nm), Taylored sport exhaust system by Pipe Werx

Oh Yeah ! Don't like to 'Pose', or anything ! Displaying what size engine i have is a bit of 'showing off' ! lol  RR Sport Supercharged Vesuvius Orange 4.2 V8 First edition

I know, Im a hypocrite as I have a supercharged badge on the back of my TDV8 but the previous owner put it on and I don't want to scratch the paint taking it of.  TDV8 HSE, Remap (+45 BHP + 100 Nm), Taylored sport exhaust system by Pipe Werx

sherlock........hairdryer, bit of fishing line/dental floss and some gluer remover/petrol and it'll be off before you can say "No supercharger here"
