They are here for good to start new lives. Theres nothing to offer in the Philippines. It's basically like Mexico. 3rd world country....bad medical help, bad pay, bad crime, bad diseases, I've been there, not exactly a place you want to live. Maybe retire. But not to raise kids and try to provide for a family off a $1 an hr wage.

Well that's awesome, man. Tell 'em welcome to their new home and we're really glad to have 'em!

So I scratched the idea of painting the z71 grille and instead finally decided to dig into the street scene grille I’ve had for 2 years. Tired of looking at it in the shed and always wanted to see it finished. The issue was the previous owner painted it with lead smurf paint. So i would have to remove all of it and start over. Here’s some pics to jog the memory

I just prepared myself and started on it over the weekend. It sucked would be an understatement for sanding lead paint. Parts of it that were cracked or chipped were rusted. I tried not to sand down through the protective gel coat into the raw fiberglass but there were a few spots that I did. So I sprayed it with a 2K primer filler because it’s a rapid set with the hardener mixed in just like the 2K clear does , so the base will have something to stick to and it will dry before it has a chance to soak into the raw fiberglass . So here’s a Pro tip - after some research about painting fiberglass I learned that you can’t just lay normal primer or base because it will soak into the pours of the raw fiberglass.
Came out pretty nice
