I was looking for a way to paint my old grill since I installed the chrome one. I was going to do something in red white and blue. But when I was looking for the paint, I found something cooler.
It's the chameleon paint you see on cars that changes color as the viewing angle changes. It comes in little spray paint cans for small projects. So for $20 and an hour this afternoon, I was able to do this.
There are three steps: Base coat, color, clear coat. I gave a light sand and clean to the grill before the first coat and masked the emblem. Then I waited 5 to 10 min inbetween each coat. Each step requires 2 coats. I recomend getting 2 cans of clear coat. That way, you can really protect the finish.
Tell me what you think.







I chose copper to green. I'm also thinking about painting other pieces of plastic like the stuff below my bumper. Or maybe the mirrors, who knows?

Paint the entire truck like that and it will be nasty. I didn't like the grill at fist but its growin on me. I would def heat up the emblem and take off the blue so its all chrome.(looks like u did in the last pic.)
