GEN 2 Painted Front Grill

[dilmorecg]

This makes me want to re-think painting my grill. I saw a few of the 17/18 blue and didn't like the look of a painted grill but yours with the performance blue looks good. Any daytime shots and angled shots?

Looks good. Used the rustoleum peel coat in graphite to get rid of the silver skid plate.

Approved! Grill looks almost factory. How is the color match up close?

How did you get the grille back together after you cut off the melted tabs?

Wanted to post some photos of my painted grill.
The most difficult part, was removing the front cover grill “FORD” from the actual grill.
For this, you need to remove the louvers behind the grill.
Afterwards, you need to “undo” some of the factory melted tabs behind the front grill cover.....
Besides that, I would say is a straight forward process.

Are the factory melted tabs attached to both pieces? If you how did you get the reattached?
