   How do people spray the front grill 2 different colours as in the slats black and the outside colour coded to the car? Does the slat section come apart from the outside? Cheers Jamie

   Yes well that one has grinded them off to put mesh in I want to leave them there so wondering if they come apart without being destroyed Or do they have to be masked?

   You have to cut the points where it's melted together with a Stanley blade. When you do that it'll seperate. Paint it up then when you put it back together you need to glue it at the points you cut away. I used apoxy resin.

   Sorry pal I just don't have the time. Work and getting my own motor done there's just not enough hours.
   
   It is pretty simple to do, it's all about the prep
