[Graves]

I actually just painted the horse in my stock Bullitt grille DHG to match the car. It's the same grille you have, only the chrome ring around the horse is flat black.

If I was lazy, I would just tape off the entire grille, save for the horse..and spray it a lot.

What I did was remove as many of the little things that hold it to the honeycomb piece. A couple of them, I had to break off. This step is a huge PITA.

I scuffed the horse with sandpaper (helps paint stick), then used black primer on a couple coats. With fine gritt sand paper, I held the horse under running water in the sink and "wet sanded" it until it was smooth and a little shiney. Sprayed one more coat of black...let it dry. I wet sanded it again with an even more fine sandpaper, cleaned it, then dried it off and put the first coat of DHG on it. I sanded it, repainted, then sanded again, then one more coat of paint. Let it dry, then applied 3 or 4 coats of clear.
That was that.

You can get the paint at an auto parts store like Advance.


Oh yea, you'll probably end up gluing it back in the grille. I know I'll have to...I don't think those things were meant to come out....unless I just got really frustrated and lost my temper.
