New FX2 Grille and painted fender wells **PICS**

Well, i finally got the time to paint and install my new grille. I wet sanded it with 600 grit sand paper (it was DSG and i wanted it to be black). Got a can of Krylon Fusion Satin black paint and some clear coat. I gave it about 6 VERY light coats of the black and 4 light coats of the clear coat. Turned out pretty good i think. I also got some 3M undercoating and did the rear fender wells as well. I also added some interior shots because after all this i washed and waxed her and cleaned the interior real well.








And here is a picture of the fender wells before
