diamond reo grill

[zimmie]

Hey got a question for you guys.... I want to paint the grill of the diamond reo flat black (the little squares) just wanted to know what the best way or if anyone has done this before. Thanks

Use acrylic flat black and paint the entire grill. Let it dry. The go over it w/ a damp cloth that won't shead any lint or paper (paper towel) Gradually wipe across the raised surface until the chrome has been cleared of all paint. Then take a soft towel again nothing that will shed lint and lightly polish. Don't use any polish just the clean dry towel. Take your time get it done right the first time. If you have a "junk" grill practice on that until you have the hang of it then do the go ahead and detail the Reos' grill.

Good Luck!!!
