Front grille is nearly ready for gloss black topcoat. Basically roughed up the plastic with 80 grit wet and dry to de-bobble the grain of the plastic then plastic primer followed by two heavy coats of black filler primer. After that lots of sanding down to a smooth finish with 120 grit. Tomorrow a quick wet flat with 320 grit and then off to paint. This has taken quite a while :I

if it was a dark coloured car id go for gloss black but with it being blue i think black wheels look crap on blue, powder coated chrome gets my vote :)
