Painting grill and tailgate platinum

[VetteD_SiN]

man. you guys got some sick whips. i have a quick question slightly off topic. looking through your guys pics, i noticed that your guys ford emblems are different colors, or covered entirely. is this a different part, does the emblem come apart so it can be painted, or is it sprayed on the surface? i wanted to spray some of my exterior stuff (grill, emblems, etc), but didnt know how i should proceed with the emblems. thanks in advance.

I ended up painting both. The tailgate was taped off as good as it possibly could..but with the curves I ended up putting a super thin black tape to cover up the inner section and then a second one for a accent. The bleed through was so small most would not have seen it..just not perfect.

Screw the truck...is that your house? LOL

Monster of a house lol.

Stole my idea of painting tailgate that way hadn't seen it before and wanted to do it myself. Looks great!

just got my grille shell wrapped last week. Looks sooo much better

Wrapped? How much did that run you?

 

[strokinpower]

yes and $150

Did you disassemble the grill or remove it for them? I have my front and rear bumpers wrapped, it's holding up great.

I took the grille off the truck and took it to them and they did not disassemble it.

Great thanks!

 

[strokinpower]

they said if I didn't mind seams they would do it for cheaper but I opted for seamless

 

[Tom@BigTimeKustomz]

Did you take it to a sign shop or did an auto body shop do it?

 

[strokinpower]

sign shop

 

[Tom@BigTimeKustomz]

Awesome Keith thanks. I'm going to stop by the local sign guy tomorrow and get a price.

 

[strokinpower]

no problem man

 

[truckman1974]

Sign shop? I wouldn't have thought of that.... They use some kind of sign covering or something?

Were they able to match the factory color exactly or did they get something pretty close? Looks good.

 

[strokinpower]

it doesn't match exactly but its pretty close.

It's 3M Gloss Black Metallic G212
