Went to Autozone and bought a can of Graphite colored plasti dip. My grill was really chipped up. I went ahead and painted the entire grill including the "S". The graphite color is amazingly close to the Azure grey. Very happy with the results. The roof rank, I purchased from forum member Kconklin. (thanks dude!) Prob hard to tell but I also tinted the windows 20% all around.

Car looks great! Kinda wish I could do 20% all around, but I'd get pulled faster than I could pull out of the tint shop.

Thanks man! I finally received my Dr. Colorchip kit this morning. So working on the hood chips will be on the agenda for this weekend, plus adding a nice little accessory that is supposed to arrive this weekend as well ;)

Did you remove the grill to paint it?

No I did no remove the grill. It would have been a pain in the a$$ to do that. Instead, I grabbed enough plastic shopping bags and inserted them through the honeycomb grill. I used I thin screwdriver to spread them open while behind both grills. After paint job was done, I just pull bags out with a needle nose plier. Alot easier than removing the entire front assembly...lol

Nice. Thanks for the pics! My car is identical to yours, so now I know what mine will look like when I do this. :)

Almost thought the car was blue for a second with the small picture (on my phone). It would look good in a solid blue color.

The grill looks good like that.
