Ah ok, didn't realise it was a before and after pic. Apologies

It was taken after one pass with the polisher. It looks far better now.

Sorry, thought it was the finished detail.

What you do is mask off a panel with tape, polish one side of the tape then remove it. That way you see the difference.

I wasn’t going to no. Black paint tends to make wheels look smaller, even 20s. I was contemplating shadow chrome but that won’t be until spring. There’s no point painting wheels in winter imo.

What did you paint the grille with?

 

[flowrider]

Basically any illegal tint voids all insurance in an accident whether it’s your fault, or the other drivers

And knowing that you still had it done! Thats just crazy.

What did you paint the grille with?

A rubberised spray paint (not plastidip). It’s very easy to use.

Not a fan of the black look but I do like the grill change, what prep did you do on it before the spray?

Just wiped it clean with a new microfibre. As long as there’s no dust or grime on the surface, it’ll stay on fine with no cracking. The important thing with rubberised paint is just to build up lots of layers.
