My FMIC Grill Build

[xtturbo]

Got a couple of runs, but no biggie

This is where i praise the lord that I'm using acrylic, let it dry over night, and cut it back with p1200 sand paper.

After that, one final coat and it will be done

I've managed to get the lines pretty damn awesome, the light reflects beautifully! The hard part is putting the paint on wet enough so that it dries glossy, without running... not an easy task lol!

D'oh!

Its that damned glossy I cant take a good photo of it! Its gonna take a while to cure anyway... I put the paint on ridiculously thick and want to give it two weeks to cure nicely before wet rubbing the runs off... Looks ace though and will put photos up when all done

And here is the finished product!!
