I got the same color paint, but I used this to apply it - http://www.prevalspraygun.com/

I sprayed a couple coats of black, then a couple coats clear.

 

that thing is pretty fuggin sweet lol.. i might have to try that, that way i can use real paint

 

My factory paint code as shown here is 14 (14U actually), and it was available in the 11 oz spray. The can says Truck & SUV paint. Pics when I get home

ya 14U is what mine is to
ya 11oz should be enough right? i know the 5oz even though they dont have it anyways wouldnt be enough

thanks again guys

 

you guys didnt use enamel did you... that will strip the primer off wont it, i presume you just used gloss?

i forgot to ask you guys did you guys sand the texture off or just scuff and shoot

 

I scuffed it with Scotchbrite and sprayed it. I figured the smoother it was the more chance I had of fuggin' it up

 

good theory

im def gonna try it this weekend, if worse comes to worse if f it up... like i said i was plannin on buyin a new one anyways so fug it

lookin forward to seein your pics tonight

 

I wish you the best of luck but i know you'll like it and it will turn out great. my whole front end is painted to match and it used to have the fake chrome grill shell. Although I had mine done at a shop, it shows you can do it 6 months, no problems

 

I've had mine painted for about 4 years now and I've had to touch it up a few times. The issue is rock chips. We use a plastic primer and adhesion promoter, but when a rock chips it, the surrounding area starts to flake. It gets worse and worse as it keeps flaking off. Washing it and running a sponge or towel over it make is worse. If you keep up on the chips then everything will be fine.

 

The pictures didn't turn out worth a ****, but here they are anyway
