Had a clean today because the sun came out, FOR ONCE! Just a wash and wax, was going to polish but didn't have the energy.
I had a helper though as you can see bellow 
See my newly painted SP Grill

Just some satin black that was in the garage. lacquered too. No primer though didn't have any. seems to have stuck though i used quite a few layres and a heat gun it make the paint sticky. See how dirty the car was before in the first pic!
