Grabbed some quick shots today.

Started with the passenger light, it was in bad shape. Had most of the grime taken care of but it looked like somebody took a razor blade to it at some point, very deep scratches. Sanded it down 320-600-1000-2000. Still needs a little work around the edges, I only have 6" pads for the buffer so the edges are kind of dull and you can still see some of the sanding roughness. Totally got rid of all the deep scratches though, nothing to be embarrassed about anymore for sure.


Moved on to the Diffusers, They were already black but I wanted a little practice so I sprayed them flat black. It made them a liiiiiitle bit darker and less reflective but not much change.


Then what I really set out to do was paint the front grille. Used same flat black but it was pretty much pitch black by the time I finished the last coat. I have a can of gloss black and was thinking about doing the silver parts with the gloss but ran out of time. I may this week\end, I like the darker look for sure but it still has that "face of Chrysler"
(weird reflection from the driveway/house makes parts look copperish in pic)


Nice and clean...
