Default Painted the lower bumper grill

i decided to paint the lower bumper grill today to match the car. i used duplicolor paint for plastics and the clear coat too. it came out pretty good i think. i'm going to do the main radiator grill next weekend, or sooner if i have time. but anyway, the pictures really dont do it justice as they're kind of washed out due to the time of day and sun angle. i will post better ones if i can get some w/my cheap a$$ camera.

















let me know what you think.
thanks - Tony

something different https://mustangforums.com/forum/2005-2014-mustangs/492855-shaker-hood-shelby-grille-saleen-louvers-pics.html on there, check out the blue car. on the up close you can see, he rolled the edges of the honeycomb with chrome paint and cleared it all, i'm rather impressed with the look and it's seriously original
