Shenker Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Hey guys, in the fall I spent a bunch of time painting the grill of my suburban, I pulled it out, de-greased and cleaned the whole thing twice, wet sanded with 600 until the chrome was almost gone (I say almost as in it was patchy but smooth), cleaned it again, light coat of primer, did 4 coats (2 cans worth) of krylon superbond black spray paint which is also paint/prime combo, and then 5 coats of acrylic automotive spray bomb clear. about two months and a few washes later it started peeling, I was sooo mad, I spent HOURS making it look good, now its so spotted it looks awful and neglected. Im wondering what the proper way to to this is? did I do something wrong? am I just better off buying a blacked out grill from aftermarket? im trying to completely murder out the truck, all tinted and everything so the blacker and more aggressive of a finish I can get the better. Open to any suggestions at this point.

Shenker Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 maybe thats why it didnt stick, I didnt use self etching primer, it was just an automotive store primer. Thanks n8, ill take a look around for one. -If its loud, fast, outrageous, or all of the above, chances are i'll think its awesome. -"No way he's OCD." -said none of the people that know me ever. 04' Suburban "Lucifer" A.K.A #Lucii (Under Construction) 4 10s on 4kW in 6cu net @~28hz /////Alpine Crescendo KnuKoncepts Optima SHCA Build Thread 92' JDM 325i "Stella" ~Going for sale to build a 350+hp E30~ Gutted pipes 96,000 OG KM's (59,000 mi) -System Removed- 1 10 on 1kW 89' Gen 3 Honda Prelude SI AWS "Odis" Bone Stock Possibly going to stance it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
