4 Bar Grill?

[AstonExige]

After someone kindly put an idea in my head on my thread searching for a 6 bar grill, whilst cleaning mine today I had a cunning plan......

What do you think? But squint a little

Thanks guys. I was pleasantly surprised how good it looked. And even better it's completely reversible if I changed my mind.

So, do I remove the slats or just spray every other one with Matt black plastidip? If I can remove the slats with no detrimental effect, ie if I put them back they're lose, then I'll just remove the slats.

Meteorite Silver by the way. Metallic grey in lay men's terms

Ok, removed the slats and..... well can't think of any other way to describe it but you can see what the poor girl had for breakfast! Bit to aggressive looking for my liking, so reverted to plan B, matt black plastidip. Great stuff this in that its a doddle to spray on and being rubbery, it just peels off. Started doing them now. They need 4 coats with 30mins between coats, so it's going to take a few hours, by which point it'll be dark. But I'll take some pictures tomorrow. For now here are some pictures of her showing her wares.......

Sorry for the delay in putting these up..... been out enjoying the BH weekend rather than p!ssing about uploading pictures on Photobucket and posting them on here

So here is the final article. Pleased with the result, Jury is still out on whether I prefer it this way or not. But easily reversible as the paint just peels off.





And a couple in daylight.....

Thanks guys

Very straight forward to do. Slats come out easy enough and spraying with plastisol is very easy, as it's so think you'd really have to go overboard to get runs. Just follow the steps on the can and you'll get good results. And if you dint just peel off and start again

I prefer the look with 4 slats rather than putting the plastidipped back in.

Yes me too based on the picture just put on. But when I tried that look you could just see too much behind the grill, didn't look as "clean" as that one. (see my pictures further up the thread)
