I thought about when they were off and decided not to but yeah now I think so. See the white specs on the DS cowl in the little vent area? Grrrr. I’ll fix that without pulling it off. I guess I didn’t turn it around and inspect very well. I’ll have to wait until I’m using the Cerakote on something else so I don’t waste an entire wipe for that tiny area. I still need to do the side window trim so I’ll do it then.

Nice. Yeah, I did see those, but was hoping it was the pic.

I’m doing the Cerakote on the center of the grill and just decided to repaint it because it’s chipped so I ordered more paint and clear. It’s chrome under the paint too so now I need to decide on whether to sand and paint it or buy another paintable grill. Either way I needed to get the paint order in, last time it took 6 weeks. I can remove the painted part from the main part which is the honeycomb part, I’ve used a heat gun on tabs like this before and bent them straight, then bent them back during reassembly when I was working on something else. That will make it easier to sand.

I bought some Griots Garage Speed Shine awhile back and tried it out today. The truck hasn’t been driven or washed for 2 weeks and had a good dust layer on it. Normally I would have done a normal wash but decided to try this. I was surprised that it worked so good. I used one of their PFM cloths. It took about 10 minutes to do the whole exterior and came out glowing. It can be used on interiors and glass too.
