I cannot do this together with the Body in the body shop...So... Since i cannot do this in the body shop so i'll just start with the faded & rusted parts...Well this time i did not spend as much as i did...All i have to buy is:- Spray Can (Flat Black) = Rm7.00 x 3 rolls- Rough Sand Paper = RM2.50 x 2 rolls                        Total = RM26.00Let's start with the Air Box...This is my old rusty Air Box...

But this was when i already spray the 1st coating...<img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_TNb7GHpzyLQ/SsSz5_uhRwI/AAAAAAAAA8Y/8btXobJZgKA/s800/DSC02453.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_TNb7GHpzyLQ/SsSz_ehznqI/AAAAAAAAA8k/CRsfQZVHb4M/s800/DSC02456.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />This one is when after the 2nd coating was sprayed...My friend came by & help me take the pictures...But as you can see the top head has a more smoother look than the base... It's cause i did not spray the 2nd coating yet on the base...<img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_TNb7GHpzyLQ/SsS0NlHPtpI/AAAAAAAAA9A/k0yEuFPDhpA/s800/DSC02464.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />* Now On With Repainting The GrillsThis is my grills after taken out from the car....<img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_TNb7GHpzyLQ/SsS0RXiWbUI/AAAAAAAAA9U/tsb6xuCxrwQ/s800/DSC02479.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />This was how bad was the Grills...http://lh3.ggpht.com/_TNb7GHpzyLQ/SsS0cMu2O9I/AAAAAAAAA9o/QncaS_tnOpo/s800/DSC02484.JPGThis is real carbon grills...
