The mirrors and grille turned out awsome! Did you rattle can everything?

Thanks man! This is what the grill looks like the clamps ruined the un cured paint

Looks good man. Is the bumper just paint or is it pcoat? If its paint hows it holding up? And about the cowl I just did mine and after the fact im very happy I did it. And for the other guys wanting to paint the texterd parts if its easy to sand use some high build primer. I like european brand then sand down smooth. Only really needs one coat of it. With my cowl I just cleaned it very good with some cascaid dish soap. The stuff thats made for dishwashers thats just the grains and and it to a little water mix it up and then take some red scotch bright and scrub everything very good. It gets all the oils out and cleans it. Then I just sprayed some sealer and took some scotch bright again and hit everything till its smooth. I only needed one coat on the cowl then color matched it. Looks great and is very smooth now. The cascaid stuff is the best to use on any plastic surface you paint. Also if you spray a little flex coat on it, it helps a lot and makes it a lot harder to crack. If you wouldnt mind can you send me a pm about how you did your bumper with the fog light holes.
