Painting grille horse

HurricaneJesus · Feb 8, 2008

I wanna paint the horse flat black after I ditch the corrall.
I figure I'll clean it, sand off the chrome, primer and spray some flat black.
Can I get away with using model car paint or how should I go about this?

Its plastic isn't it? If so I would use some of that Krylon Platic Spraypaint. I used that stuff to paint my Guitar from Guitar Hero and it turned out awsome.

Krylon Fusion is the name of the stuff. I've painted interior pieces on my car with the stuff and it holds great.

Cool so I can skip the primer then?

Just make sure you clean it real good, you might want to scuff it up a little too.

AGREED!!! I scuffed it, primed it, painted it and cleared it with Duplicolor spray paints. After the black paint, I added the "NOS" by (careful steady) hand. Still, rocks, sand, whatever have caused a couple small chips in it - oh well...I still dig it.

PARDON the dust as I'm finally trying to finish prepping my cowl hood for paint - so, as much as I try to keep things clean, I have sanding dust EVERYWHERE in our garage...!

dood that NOStang emblem is preeeetty sweet

HurricaneJesus · Feb 10, 2008

You know, now that I look at it without anything it looks pretty sweet. But I did just spend 20 minutes or so taking that corral off and modifying the bracket to look nice with just the horse so dammit it's going on there.
BTW, what do you think of the 'no-foglite' look? One of mine was broken so I figured I'd yank 'em for the time being.

The holes just feel naked without them, they need to be filled

HurricaneJesus · Feb 10, 2008

Yeah, I might have to rig up some screens or something.

fobra559 · Feb 10, 2008

Are you going to get new fog lights? I think you should

HurricaneJesus · Feb 10, 2008

You think so? I dunno...70 bucks for something I never use....or 70 bucks and another 70 bucks for a short throw...

fobra559 · Feb 10, 2008
