hi all want to respray grill does anyone know how to take it off, i have no idea.
and also want to take off and respray that grey plastic piece that says MAGNA on the trunk and any tips for respraying

to take off the grill u have to remove the plastic bit infront of the radiator where the bonnet lach is. once removed u can see the clips that are holding the grill so with a thin flat screw driver it can be easily removed by puching down on the clips.

and to spray the rear boot garnish get ur self sum good primer and good paint colour that u want. remove and clean away any dirt. spray primer on and do bout 3 or 4 light even coats. send back with really fine sand paper so its all nice and smooth then do nice even coats of wat ever colour u want.

When I go to auto part shops, and to the paint section, I keep seeing "chrome" paint. Is this actually likely to give a good finish, or should I just stop being a dick and go and buy the chrome garnishes?

stop being a dick and buya chrome garnish lol j/ks dude. that chrome wont come out chrome. it will be like a really shiny silver but wont be nething near a chrome garnish. u can get chrome garnish from wreckers for like $20 or u can get ur current garnish chromed which might be a little expensive

when spraying any parts of your car it is important to thoroughly sand the surface BEFORE applying any primer/paint as the primer/paint needs a broken surface to hold onto. using anything from 800 wet'n'dry or finer is best. automotive scotchbrite is good for gettin in the grooves where you can't sand. grey scotchbrite is best. the important thing to remember is NEVER PRIME/PAINT OVER A SHINY SURFACE. paint will never stick. Also be careful when applying the primer/paint to some parts like the boot garnish and grill on some cars as they are sometimes painted in weak paint that will react with acrylic paints and "fry up".to avoid this, apply multiple thin coats to get coverage rather than few heavy coats. your last coat may need to be a bit heavier to achieve the desired finish. I also seen that chrome paint on parts and i reckon it looks more like galvanised steel than chrome.

Thanks for your tips
