97 Boxster on 18's, oh no!

I took mine off to paint them and it was a ********************, nothing too hard its just a lot of wrenching and crawling around on the ground. Well worth it though, plus you can clean the radiators out when your in there.

I had my pumper off to clean the radiators and decided to paint the grills then. They pop off the pumper, makes it easy to paint them. there is a youtube video on how to take the bumper off, it says use two people but I did it myself.

I like the headlight shot and will do this to mine soon. Did you do the rears as well?

Supplies:
-nightshades paint
-2000 grit sandpaper
-alcohol to clean
-mask off the headlight

Thanks.

I have not done the rear lights yet. I have thought about doing those as well as the clear side marker lights too. Maybe a project for this winter. I also wanted to share a couple HDR pics my buddy took the other day.

Your car looks great!
Love the Alpine/Boston sound but it would be wasted in my Boxster so I did that in one of my trucks. Your wheels look great too but... YOU ARE GOING TO KILL YOURSELF! (just kidding )

I was just about to buy new bumper grills..but after seeing tonycarreon's I think I'll try painting mine first.

Any suggestions on the type of paint to paint the grilles? tonycarreon? or whipE350?

Thanks

I painted my grills with caliper paint because it dries fast and was a close match. I'm sure the correct way to do it is sand, prime several times and paint. I did remove mine from the bumper while it was off. I'll redo them some day when I have the correct paints. I actually only painted them because I had the bumper off for cleaning condensers and radiators and decided the grills could use some touch up.
