I am going to pick up some Krylon Fusion Spray paint, for Plastic. And paint my stock RS grill black. It should look a lot nicer than the faded black it is now. Anyone else do this?


would post a pic but every time I take a pic with the digital camera it is too big to use here. too bad tgo doesn't downsize them a little like cardomain does.

 

have you considered buying a new grill? A 91-92 Z grill would look real nice on it. I just bought one from classic industries for $52 bucks. It is SHINY!

I like that car.
goodluck

 

Yeah I do like those Z grills. But in MD you have to have front tags so I don't want to spend 50 and then Hide the bow tie or "camaro". Just trying a cheep way to spif it up a little.

 

mmuuahhh you know you want one... soo pretty...
mine should be painted body color with a polished alum bowtie soon :fingers crossed:

 

oh yea I forgot I got a few real nice RS grills lying around, if your interested pm me.

 

MAN! that grill is sweet! I just wish I didn't have to have a front tag!

 

i dunno why, but for a second when i saw the topic i thought you had the spray can backwards and sprayed your teeth, aka your grill.

LOL, i think of just the stupidest things.

looks good

 

the grill that says amaro is nicer

 

It'll look even better soon. What do they do if you dont have one? I don't know that I could bring myself to put a front tag on my baby..

 

well I read a bunch of threads of what happend to people who didn't have one or what could happen, and i decided not to take it off. I think I will have to go find some more horrer stories of what can happen becasue I really want to take it off again!!!!

 

Im going to grab that style insert ( the one with the bowtie) soon. I want to paint it ody color. Should i leave this one up to the professionals or do you think a spraycan would do the trick?? haha.. no flames plz

 

Depends how nice you want it an how much money you have man.. While I want to get it done professionally... I have a budged for rattle can..

 

You can get a brand new Z28 grill from gmpartsdirect.com for like $23 I think, with shipping it's around $30. If you want an RS drill, it should be about the same or even less.

on the wessite how do you find parts for the newer cars (i.e.82-92) all i can find is older restoration parts and you cant do a search without a part number.....[

 

I was having the same problem with the site even if you go into the categories you cant find anything.. I'll see if I can get the part number off of mine later for ya.

 

yeah I had the same prob too, I found some 4th gen stuff and then some 1 and seccond gen but no 3rd gen

 

Click the link in my sig for more pics, I did mine body color with a silver bowtie

 

Hmm..front tag laws. Gotta hop in on this one. I live in Buffalo, New York. Yea, i dont have a font tag. Don't really care. So far got pulled over 3 times for not having one. Only cost me 50 bucks so far. Only paid one times worth, got let off the rest. I dont see it as a law thats enforced unless the cop is having a really really crappy day. No points, only a small fine. I'd look into it if you really dont wanan put one on. Another option is leave it off but leave it on the back seat or something. Put it on the dash when you drive. Or, say the "mounting bracket" broke off, and the part is on back order because the car's so old. That one got me off once or twice. It's especially useful if you have a friend at a body shop. Get a "receipt" showing that its on "backorder". If ya gets my drift. Should get you off that way if you actually do get busted and have to go to court to argue it

 

Bowtie part numer is 1409316-8

still cant get it to show up on gm parts direct tho..

 

It's a little more expensive now than I remembered, but I hope this helps. Part # 10139545.

I painted mine with matte black rustoleum. I honestly don't remember why....probably what was lying around. It has that primer black look, and I've had lots of compliments. I had planned on repainting the "Camaro" but everyone seems to like the blacked out look. If I decide to stay with that look, I'm gonna smooth the letters, but i just haven't decided 100% yet.

I scuffed the grille with scotchbright, and then painted.
