Has anyone else had the paint chip on the metal grill on top of the hood? It seems to getting worse and I'm looking for advice on how to fix it.

 

Unbolt it, tape off the rubber surround, spray paint it. 30 min fix and so far mine is holding up great.

 

This is what i would do.

 

Yup I would powerwash it fully, dry and then paint it.. Use grille paint thats what Ive seen and it looks good..

 

clean the heck out of all the mesh areas.

for the hood vent i removed the mesh area from the hood. taped off the rubber parts and sprayed it with high temp black paint. a couple coats.

for the front grill mesh i put the spray paint on a pallet and take a paint brush and paint each little area chipping.

doesn't take long and it is a good feeling of accomplishment when you stand back and it looks great.

i live in a harsh climate area (NY) and it is starting to peel again after a year, but not as bad, so i will just take another paint brush round to it soon.

 

I carry a Black Paint pen in my glove compartment and use it to touch up the grill, works great.

 

mines getting time to paint haha my front mesh and the top of the hood grill

 

Unfortunately, it's pretty common.

Another gentle nod to Mitsu's paint quality.

 

Mine was chipping to just paint it

 

+1 same here

 

sand blast with the smallest grain then powdercoat it flat black will never chip again and its about 30 bux of well spent money

 

mine is chipping and i have painted it 5 times haha u need high temp paint

 

bro i just repainted mine... and its chipped already... welcome to weekend repaints!

 

how did you take it off? need the hood vent and the bumper grill
