DIGITALPIMP... question.. how did you black out your grilles??

[kimcheejeegae]

did you use a spray paint an a clearcoat? or did you get it powercoated? It looks great and I would like to steal/borrow your idea for my grilles. Thanks!!

I used neoprene rustproof/undercoating for a mat-black finish.

aha... THANK YOU!

The key was to make sure after you remove the grill from the car to take the grill apart and only powder coat the grill. It will take more time, but it really pays off on.

Your grill looks so good, it almost makes me want a Black V.

Trukk Thanks for the comments.

Black V's are faster (Referencing the thread about the Stealth grey and it being a "slower (Now we have 2 in the family)" car cause of the color.)

[trukk]

heh...

Black cars are black due to no reflection of light photons, hence no color is seen. All those photon's just get 'stuck' to black cars. Every kid that has a quality high school edjukation (like me!) knows that photons have a LOT of mass (learned that in fisics class).

Why I bet your car has an extra 200 Lb's of photons stuck to it (at least if it's an '04).

You can't argue with SCIENCE!

Light Platinum V's are faster.

I used photon resistant clear coat as well as anti photon powder coat. Yeah, in fact I used super secret double probation paint that resists photon collection on the paint surface, as well as introduces Nitrogen into the paint hence lightening the vehicle. :drinker

First liar never has a chance.
