last one for now. my pride and joy for MANY COUNTLESS HOURS!! as some of you know, 71 roadrunner grills had natural black plastic for the black-out area. I obviously couldn't have it any other way so I hunted for a long time for a suitable true roadrunner/ gtx grill. I found one on ebay and bought it come to find out it had been spray bombed black (after I had asked if it was with an answer of NO) I decided to keep it and mess around with it. after several attempts to chemically strip the paint with easy off oven cleaner, it didn't make it any better. I then got walnut media for my blast cabinet and very lightly (60 psi) blasted the grill. after if was paint free, I used light steel wool to get a more natural look and I think it turned out great. it would have certainly been easier to paint it black again lol. the silver I used a krylon nickle shimmer metallic that I think looks pretty close to some original grills Ive seem. the bumper is chromed by AMS who did and awesome job (some sticker still stuck to the top..)
