   Hi.
   
   Got a icelandic grey mk2 saxo with the whole smoked theme going on...
   
   Basicly got a few days off so going to do some spraying etc.
   
   Now i want to try something a bit different in terms of spraying. Heres the ideas so far:
   
   1) Spray the grile the same colour as car (icelandic grey) and then gloss black chevrons
   
   2) Outer lip of the grill icelandic grey + the chevrons. Then do the inner slats gloss
   
   3) Gloss black grile with just chevrons icelandic grey
   
   4) inner slats icelandic and the outer ring and chevrons black.
   
   Any other ideas?
   
   Oh and im not meshing since i cant be bothered to leave a gash gap for the bonnet catch.

   Number 1 sounds like the best idea imo, easiest too as theres no pissing about trying to stop paint spreading between outer ring and slats as they will all be the same colour.

    2) Outer lip of the grill icelandic grey + the chevrons. Then do the inner slats gloss

    Its ok ive gone for idea 1 first just to test.
    
    Just done 1 coat of laquer on the mirror caps and it comes out at first as like a browny colour? Is that right? Its gone clear now but theres still some browny bits on the lips, will they go clear too?

    Its two grills mate, the inner bit is cut away
    
    then the chevrons are cut out and another grill used to create one continuous slat, takes quite a bit to do as the slats are a ballache to sand
