Title: Cost of Painting Debadged Grill?
Post by: pinson on 12 June 2012, 12:14
The title is pretty much self explanatory, but does anyone know the rough cost to get the debadged grills sprayed?

debadged and spray can it, youll need primer, your colour, and clear coat.  one can of each should be fine so no more than £25 MAX!

Just sprayed a silver one dragon green. Rub down, spray primer, rub that down x2. I did two coats of primer because of stone chips. Spray colour, two/three coats, rub that down and then clear coat. Rub down and buff, or plenty of t-cut. Use the t-cut after 24 hours. Might find the new grill will have a better finish than the car like I did  :grin:

When i painted my old GL debadged grill in dragon green i used halfords rattle cans and the match and quality were spot on. however if i was doing silver or a light colour id try a proper shop. imagine they would want £25-50

Thanks for the advice, it is dark blue. I think a rattle can is the line i shall go down.

Use Tipex, I painted my pencil case with it in 1987 and it still looks good

Ting tong from tooting  :grin:

My mate is actually called ting tong. He used to be so fat he had tits so I used to call him ladyboy. Then when little Britain came out I states calling him ting tong and now it has stuck and everybody calls him it now and it's normal. Like its his name now  :grin:
