Well you saw my new bowtie. You can be the second to do it. But leave the trim black and paint the rest red. Just flip my bowtie colors

Because I like the look of it. Never seen anyone else do it.

Just that plastic fusion paint. If it chips or fades I'll spray it with PPG Deltron with DX57 in it.

Post a pic when you do, I'd like to see how it looks. Also your upper grille looks like it has alot more shine than mine. What paint did you use?
