Default Let me know what you think...did I make a mistake? LOL

Ok, so as a disclaimer...I've never painted anything on this truck...until today. You can look at the before pics on pretty much any stock, grey grill Silvy. I got ballsy today and decided to try something. With a dark color like blue or black, I think it looks pretty good. Paint is still curing, will go on the truck in the morning and I will take more pics then. Until then, here are a few to let you tell me what you think. And YES, the only thing that was washed was the part that was painted so far...it's dirty, I know.

Lots of reserved judgement...lol. Will definitely have pics up in the AM. Just finished the painting late this evening and didn't want to leave it out in the humidity. Come back in the morning...will definitely have new pics!! I spent ALL day on wash #1, clay bar, wash #2, and a wax, lol. I mocked it up on the truck to get an idea of what it may look like (when it still had the tape on!). Standby for new pics!! I'm excited!! haha...

Default Painted grill on truck...

I'll throw up a few pics on here of how it looks with the painted front clip...but also took quite a few of the detail overall, and will include those as well. Gonna take up a few posts; there as like 48 pics in all I believe.
