GTI Grill re-paint
« on: November 05, 2024, 04:20:57 pm »
A quick before and after of the re-painted the grills, fog lamp grills and re-wrapped red strip. Made the car look brand new. Used AutoTek bumper and trim paint with a satin lacquer.

Looks good.  I also used the Autotek paint on mine.  Still looking really good after (I think) 4 years.  Grill is fine, but the lower grills are chipped but hardly noticeable.

How did you remove the central lower grill?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
