Grill time on a Hot Summer Day

[CakeDaddy]

I'd like to thank my black M brothas that showed me this look. You blazed a trail for a guy like me to follow.



My paint and detail work really shines thru on this one. You can see a small tree, clouds, the sun and my tasteless Sunday wardrobe!

You look like a little midget with gigantic feet in that picture :o

Nice shots. Nice paint job.

Great job on the paint and detail work. Can't wait to see pics from a distance, different angles, etc!

Will do... It was hot as sin yesterday, so I was lazy and only backed it out of the garage, but I'll score some distance shots later. I'll add them to this post.

Chris, that looks awesome.

I'm in need of a detail myself. Hook a brother up!

You're welcome. Looks great

You're welcome. Looks great

Larry, you the man. I wish I'd done this long time ago.

I'd be curious to see how the painted grill would look on a white,red,green & blue M. Who had the green M.. was it the guy name Colt

I believe you were referring to creamcream with the green M? I found this link:

Looks good on black, not so on white or silver.

Nice job!

yes..thank you. that green grill was on point. I miss creamcreme

JadeM45 - You paint shop skills are excellent. I think the white M's look better with the oem satin silver grill, the white was kinda flossy.

maxnix - thanks for the porps

Yeah, I want to have the logo removed and then have the grill rechromed.

Thats HOT! I want to see more pics...I love the look! We need details on the prep, paint, ect.

I got a Black Betty also so I need to get her a good lookign front end

I like that look with black wheels w/ chrome or alum lip. Makes me warm N fuzzy.

Peace, Kyle

For sure, I'll get more pics. Let me clarify. I didnt do the paint work myself. I had it done by a professional paint shop, but I am responsible for the 1200 grit compunding,polishing and waxing of the ride. I think I posted my technique in the Detail Section of the forum.

I think cremecreme paint his grill on that green M that was posted up above. We haven't seen him here in a while.

Much appreciated. Black is tuff to maintain and even harder to correct if it’s been mis-treated. I’ve equipped myself with some of the best products to make my work easy, but it’s still a challenge and I’m always learning new stuff. thx

wow, i think the matching grill looks great. probably cuz its different than stock the one thing i do like about stock is that it matches the headlight housing. it would be great to see the painted grill with matching housing. so cake u a painter too or what?
