So I did it. I painted my front two bar chrome grill. I have wanted to do it for awhile, and was hopin for a how to on it but, its gettin cold so I couldnt wait any longer. Right now its drying, and looks good just cross your fingers nothing happens. Ill post pics later today when its on.
I also wanted to say a special thanks to BradWhite with out your how to, to get the grill off I wouldnt have been able to (I tried before with no luck) So Thank You.!

Looks way better than stock. Are the foglight covers painted in blue or is that painters tape?

 

[WUGcatsvt]

Grill Looks Real Good. i like the focus in the grill to. I dont know if Im diggin the fog light covers though.

 

[jholso]

Yea foglight covers was just because I was bored the other day. But I have a set of fog lightts I am putting in. I just have been to lazy to run the wires and set it all up but to covers will no longer be there at all in about a week. (I have weds off from school Ill install then)

 

[zx360]

^^install those fogs, besides the blue on the covers it looks sweet! love what you did with the focus logo on the grill

Looks nice. How do you get paint to stick to chrome?
And Hey! where is Brad lately? Have not seen him post for a while?

 

[Peregrine]

You can't get paint to stick to chrome without sanding it completely off.

 

[levin.matthew]

i think you should get black headlight housing or paint the inside of the stockers...it will complete the look

looks good though keep it up!

First...I lightly sanded the chrome cleaned it than did a couple light primerr coats. Little more light sanding. One more light primer coat. Than like 8 coats of flat black and wala i get the sweetness...
Second...Yea I plan on smokin my headlights and do a couple of other black touches on the front, but cant do more till spring.
Third....Yea as I wrote earlier, I have fogs so I can get rid of the covers. I was just hopin one day I could do something with them to dress them up needless to say didnt work so well, so I got fogs the next day. Just gotta have time to install them. haha So soon that wont be there.
Fourth....Thanks for all the comments I too like how it came out soooo much better than stock.
