My Project for Today
Got up and started washing the truck this morning, got halfway through and and realized my grille cowls (I call them cowls, its the pieces of plastic that are between the windshield and hood) wiper arms and wheel wells look like ****. I have tried multiple times to restore the cowls and each has either not worked at all or worked for a little while and then they turn gray again. The wheel wells are just bad looking, especially on a clean truck
So I said **** it, Im painting them and headed to Wal-Mart. Got some Krylon plastic paint for the grill and cowl and some rubberized undercoating for the wheel wells. I of course forgot to take before pics of the wheel wells, but look back through some of my picture thread and you can see how crappy they looked. I also forgot to take afters, but Ill get those up later
Also when removing the emblem to paint the grille I managed to break one of the pegs off, but its superglued and drying right now...ill get some more pics after its back on

Its textured finished so I dont think primer/sanding is necessary. I would give it a VERY good wash and hit it with adhesion promoter though.

and Im pretty sure the emblem is done, I dont think the superglue is gonna hold the peg on, so I may see if I can find another one on eBay...does any company make a black one?
