DYI Plasti-Dip Chrome Grille Inserts

[M37Rhino]

So i decided to plasti dip the chrome grill inserts on the M37x to make it look closer to the sport model. I think it turned out well!

>I started off by masking the entire car with some trash bags and red masking tape. I did not remove anything as far as the logo or grille itself.







>It was getting dark fast so i only had a few hours to finish the job. Heres a few pics of the first and last coat





>And finaly removing the bags and tape. At this point the sun was gone after letting it dry for a while. Sorry about the s*** pics. over all i think it looks great and it was super easy!

I definitely need to do this sometime this summer.

Its so easy and it looks very nice! you should most def do it.

Quick question: is there a a difference between a 2011 m37 and a 2014 Q70?

The front and rear of the car were updated and some other small changes...

Yeah this is one of those rare cheap mods that makes the car look SO much better.

Nice job M37Rhino!

Thanks @Debonair. This mod cost me about 11 bucks all together very cheap easy and looks nice! Today i got my Eibach lowering springs in the mail. Looks like i have another DIY project for next week!

Well done, mate ! You left the frame and emblem untouched and dipped just the grille itself. That is far and away better looking than the OEM black grilles. I just re-did my grille too - post is in the 35/45 forum from yesterday.

Well done job, looks great...but why didn't you just take the grille off? Weren't you worried about the pasti dip getting beyond the grille?...like on the radiator. I am a newbie at hooking your car up, but that crossed my mind.

In picture five you can see that i took the plastic engine cover off and put bags to block the over spray into the radiator. Taking the grill off was not necessary in my opinion.

I'd did this the same way as M37Rhino. Easy to drop cardboard in there to protect the radiator. I definitely would have removed the grille if it did not require the front bumper to be removed first to do it.
