I'm loving WW more and more, and I'm definitaly going to do mine now. I just haven't been able to find any vynil here in montreal (I honestly don't know where to look for it).If I don't find any I'll just paint it et voila.

Cheers

well I was going to finally add my pic to my post but I guess it wasnt technical enough! I removed the top grill but taped off the bottom one. Then taperd off around the diamonds and painted them too!

Just got done blacking out the front of my 2009 Lancer ES-Sport. Sorry for the resolution quality, pictures were taken from my phone.


After prep work was done. My heart was in my stomach. Not the new clearcoat!!!


After the bumper and chrome grill was repainted. Mitsu wanted $180 for a DE model grill so i said screw it. Masked it off and painted it too.
