   Just bought, sprayed, meshed and fitted my new front grille and sprayed blue instead of the previous silver and Im considering spraying the rest of the bodykit blue this summer as my grille came out so nice and just wanted an outsider opinion!. Grille better before or after? Thanks!

    That or black if you have to mate.
    
    I'd colour-code all round and maybe do something a little different with the wingmirror caps, lose the mesh badge and lower. Will look much cleaner and smoother

    Would be a bit harder to get an even finish on bumpers etc with them being a larger area...are you spraying with an air feed or out of a rattle can?

    i would probably buy a spay gun, as opposed to a can for the bodykit

    Anthracite for the body kit,then do the mirror caps the same colour maybe get someone to do a photoshop 2 for you.
