Blackwashing the grill what to use? I tried flat black Tamiya paint but it scratches the chrome too much...
If you want to use the photo-etch kit it means that you have to dremel out the inside of the grill?

The sell blackwash premixed. never tried it though. i just use some flat black and thin it way down so it flows to the low spots.
I've only used one grill. and i didn't dremel out the original. i just painted it flat black. It goes right where the old one went. but i guess you could cut it out if you want

don't use the detail wash stuff , after awhile it comes off.
I am wondering what the point of doing a photoetched grill is if you don't remove the kit pieces, the whole point is to get a realistic looking grill that you can see though, so in my opinion if you don't modifiy the kit piece you have just wasted $15 or so

in my case, it was on the silverado kit, and the gill is all one piece with the trim and bumper. plus if i cut out the original grill, i wouldn't have had anything to glue the photoetched to. i'll take a pic later, you can't even tell

Next time try making some little tabs to attach it to, I know what you are saying I ran into that on a 67 Impala. I like to cut away all the excess so you can see the radiator through it
Hey, so it’s been awhile. Got my bike frame painted recently. One of two frames I made; I had all my parts stored away until now.
I’m going to assemble soon but I have a question. How do you set up the rear brake arm if it’s been bondo’d up?
Thanks!
Just throwing this out here anyone out there have bicycle license plates from any City around the United States these were legit registrations plates for your bicycle
