Just finished up my accent ring on my 05 GT. I got the idea from NegativeOne13. so shout-out to him. My car is Graystone Metallic with the silver grill. So I thought that a royal blue accent ring would fit my car.
I started off by taking about 3 or more hours masking off the grill and front clip of my car.
This process was a pain in the butt, but it was important to keep my edges clean and prevent spray hitting my car paint. I continued to mask off the other grill of my car and cover the rest with newspaper.
Now that my car looks like Santa. I was able to lightly sand the exposed grill area and apply about two coats of primer to give the blue paint something to stick to. The next day I came back and applied the royal blue paint over the primer. I put on about three coats to get an even and shiny finish.
I let this dry for about an hour before I removed the newspaper and tape so I wouldn't peal paint off and the end results look amazing.
