take your time.. i just assisted with a friend in painting.. he had issues if you use the wrong primer.. just take your time with them. . . make sure you get a good and thick coat .. dont want it to peel in the long run ...

Any Recommendations as to which type/brand of primer to use? For the headlight application is specific. If you have done it before you will know a trick or two I do not, as I have not tackeled this before. Also... Type of paint? I cant find a good how-to for headlight mod with this information.

I have a question, today some a$$, backed into my car today and pushed the grill in. now its fine, the grill and the clips on the grill didnt break but the part that the clips snaps into on the bumper are broken. are those aftermarket grill dependent on the part on the bumper? (that the clips snap into) cause its a lot just to replace the bumper just for the grill. any suggestions? or should i just use my imagination to fix this?
