wow that's really nice :]..i have a thunder gray lancer too and thought about doing that..where'd you get the "metallic gray" paint from? and how much? how long does it take for everything to dry? good job this is probably what i'll be doing before i get an aftermarket grill..

 

I actually got the paint from walmart .. its pretty inexpensive there so thats a plus heh. Heres the paint info I used.

Dupli-Color Auto Spray Paint. Barcode: DS GM 318 CHARCOAL (M)
This bottle is like 6-7" tall .. #318 is the paint code and it says charcoal (m) right on the lid. I lied i guess when i said earlier it was metallic grey hehe For primer i just picked dupli-color primer .. cheap. Thought better to go w/same brand as paint. I then used Color Spray Enamel 'Clear Glaze' to cover it a few times with clear. Remember to mask off the mitsu emblem with tape .. use a razor blade to cut it .. and it will turn out nice.

I thought about getting an aftermarket grill cause i didn't like the chrome but now i really like my grill now its painted. I won't be getting an aftermarket one now.

 

I got aftermarket mesh (43 cents/ft) primed black. Makes the grill opening like a huge yawning mouth. Folded over two or three times so you can't see the fugly brace and frame. I like the way you did yours tho...nice work!

 

hey!!! lol i saw that charcoal color at walmart...but wasn't paying much attention to it kuz i was looking for red 3m electrical tape, didn't find it there though.
