RE: Blacking out a base 97
I just did it myself.Well I haven't done the grill yet but the trim is done.
So far I spent about 90 bucks at the paint supply store.
Here is what yo uwill need to do it yourself.
One can of adhesion promoter.One or two cans of flexible primer.And have them mix up the paint and put it into aresole cans.One pint makes three cans.And then a couple of cans of enamel clear.Oh and splurge on the good green tape.It sticks a lot better.One roll should be enough.
Tape off the top and bottom and just be sure to use multiple THIN coats.Otherwise it runs.
I think I did three coats of each,primer,paint, and clear.
Oh and be sure to clean it very thouroughly with an alcohol based cleaner.
