Binks is a manufacturer of spray coatings equipment (spray guns, cups, pots, etc..) but apparently that is not a Binks. I don't even know if there are still around.
No need to pull the lights. Grill comes off with just a tug. We swapped a friend's grill with mine in under 30 seconds. No really, we were timed to do it under a minute, LOL. Loos good though.
The grill was already broken by I am guessing someone just ripping the grill off without taking the headlights out. I will take a little more time and pull the headlights, to get the grill out to save breaking the grill more.
In between when your changing colors do you have to clean out the spray gun? I'm not that experienced at painting but i did buy a spray gun i have yet to use. Also have you have repainted the frame on any of your trucks if so what do you suggest doing? In a few weeks ill be taking the bed off my truck, replacing some cross members and want to repaint the frame to help prevent rust and give it a better look thats why i ask, Thanks for any info! and the grill looks great!
Yes you have to clean the gun completely between primer/color/clear. I use paint thinner and spray it until it is clean. For my frames I usually use the industrial rustoleum. I have heard people using por15 and others paint over rust products and they seem to like them. I have never used them. With the rustoleum I usually have to touch it up every year if the surface was really rusty but if you can get it clean it is very good paint. I used it to paint my gooseneck trailer. My dad just stumbled onto some marine grade paint that I am going to try. You can get it at Sherwin Williams I guess. You can roll it on and it will self level I guess. And if it is marine grade so you know it is tuff. When I try some I will do a video.
mossman381 Ohh ok ill make sure i do that when i use it. yea i have heard of por15 too but my friends uncle who is a painter has also said that primer and a couple coats of black would be the best to do. Yea the marine grade i would assume hold up pretty good against the elements
The bowtie turned out pretty good. It looks black until you get up close. Then you can see some of the gold bowtie shine through. I think it will look awesome in the sun.
What kind of paint do you use? Does it have a sheen to it? What kind of sand paper did you use? Also what brand of cleaner or degreaser do you recommend?
Don Davis I get all my supplies from the local Car-Quest. I use Duponts off brand paint. It is a little cheaper than Dupont branded stuff. The paint shines just like the factory paint if you lay it down right. Again my cleaner and degreaser is from Car-Quest. If you go to your local autobody supply place I am sure they will help you get started.
I am getting black headlights and led parking lights. Just like Darth Dually has. If I remember back when I got my headlights and parking lights for the dually the box was unmarked. So I am guess they were cheap china built.
Anzo is still probably foreign made. Some of the companies try to sell them for a lot more than you can get them on ebay for. Eagle Eyes is a good light maker. I believe they make a lot of oem lights. I have bought them before.
so you are using etching primer on plastic?.. im going to attempt to do this on my 07 silverado. i also have to paint the bumper end caps and also the bumper face bar. the end caps are new black plastic.. the grille is plastic chrome and the face bar is chrome plated steel.. do you have any tips so i dont screw this up... im going to be using spray can paint and primer.. the end goal is to black everything out.. i know the more attention to prep the better it will come out. should i clear coat these.. i want a matte finish?
Yes, an old painter told me about using etching primer on chrome. I have had pretty good success doing that. Spray cans won't come out like this video. Real paint and a professional paint gun is the only way to get results like this. If you are looking for a matte finish the spray cans might work out for you. I would suggest doing a test piece and see if you can get the results you are looking for before you try it on your truck.
I have done this many times with good results. If you don't feel comfortable doing it this way then don't. I am just showing everybody the way I do it.
Greg Gracia It is etching primer. Etching primer is suppose to be used on bare metal. It will etch its self right into bare metal and is an expensive primer. Similar to what auto manufactures use. This is the way I paint chrome. Painting chrome is a last resort. I didn't want to buy a new grill so I just painted mine. It will not be as durable as if you painted on a black grill. Most body shops won't even paint chrome. The paint has held up good on this grill. Still looks good.
Nice video on how to spray paint for car grill. I have read about Barkola spray paint blueprint which can be also helpful. Try searching on google for more info.
I tried taking my car to a shop to have all the chrome bits painted, they told me that they wouldn't do it because it would eventually come off. Apparently they don't think it was worth the money, so I have to ask, has anyone who has painted their chrome grill etc had any issues with peeling shortly afterwards?
+DoomsdayMelody91 I have since sold this truck but the paint was still on the grill last time I saw it. Not sure when I made this video. I have painted chrome and it has held up pretty good using the same technique. You aren't going to find a body shop willing to do it unless you sign off on any warranty.
How has it held up? I'm thinking about doing it but I live in upstate NY and an auto body guy told me that it will just flake off eventually from the salt and snow.
Just a scuffing pad. If you have areas that need to me smoothed out more you can get more aggressive with sand paper. You will also probably have to use fill in primer then sand that to get a smooth surface for paint.
Tim Johnson Thanks, I have a thread on S10forum but I don't go there very much. A lot of immature people on that site. It's a really poorly moderated site. Could be a great site if they would weed out the losers.
Back then I used Dupont. The important steps are scuffing and etching primer. You can use any automotive grade paint you like. If you use spray cans don't expect these kinds of results.
I dont know what it is about watching people work on their vehicles but its my favorite type of video. *****
WESalzmann Me too man.
Btw there were supposed to be five stars not three not sure what happened there
Sharp...you make it look easy.
It is shiny! Good job!
Thanks
awesome job!
Nice catch!
Didn't even shake the camera much :)
good job, nice binks rig
I have no idea what a binks rig is.
Binks is a manufacturer of spray coatings equipment (spray guns, cups, pots, etc..) but apparently that is not a Binks. I don't even know if there are still around.

That looks KILLER! Nice paint job, how did the logo turn out??

Very nice work!! You putting led headlights and taillights on? On the same note, what are the brand name of the ones your put on the dually?
I am getting black headlights and led parking lights. Just like Darth Dually has. If I remember back when I got my headlights and parking lights for the dually the box was unmarked. So I am guess they were cheap china built.
You are correct of the cheep china built stuff!! I was looking around and saw the ANZO lights to be the biggest company.
Anzo is still probably foreign made. Some of the companies try to sell them for a lot more than you can get them on ebay for. Eagle Eyes is a good light maker. I believe they make a lot of oem lights. I have bought them before.

Thanks bro
Good video I have a question if I get a plastic grill instead of a chrome one do I still use the etching primer before painting?
You can just use a regular primer if you don't have chrome.
Ok thank you very much.
Etching primer for metal only. Any issues with it since you've done this?
I have done this many times with good results. If you don't feel comfortable doing it this way then don't. I am just showing everybody the way I do it.
Was thinking about trying this to my s10.. will the edging primercover up the chrome good enough to paint over it?

Thanks. . I'll keep an eye out for this stuff
What. Did you use. To whip. It. Down/clean?
Mauricio Garcia Wax and grease remover.

I want to paint my chrome trims on my honda pilot do I use same primer? Because currently having issues with paint not sticking and cracking :(
I have painted chrome this way many times and have had great results.
@@mossman381 thanks wish you can do it for me to make my life easier.
what if i have a brand new 98 silverado grill? same process or just straight to etching primer?
You need to scuff up the grill really well before the etching primer. Then the same.
+mossman381 and sand down as well? thanks for answering

Nate Wrabel So far really good. I will be doing an update video on this truck soon and will show the grill.
Ok thanks!
How do you remove the chrome prior to painting? Is it possible?
AimFred Loson I don't think you are going to get the chrome off. I would buy a painted grill before I tried that.
Thanks a million!!
What are you using to sand and scuff
Just a scuffing pad. If you have areas that need to me smoothed out more you can get more aggressive with sand paper. You will also probably have to use fill in primer then sand that to get a smooth surface for paint.
The grill looks great. If I am not mistaken I have seen your truck on S10forum.com
Tim Johnson Thanks, I have a thread on S10forum but I don't go there very much. A lot of immature people on that site. It's a really poorly moderated site. Could be a great site if they would weed out the losers.
I agree. There is a lot of trolling on there.
can you comment the materials you used by name/brand?
Back then I used Dupont. The important steps are scuffing and etching primer. You can use any automotive grade paint you like. If you use spray cans don't expect these kinds of results.
You sound so much like "weregonnalose".
I know I don't have a radio voice but it is what I was born with. :)
mossman381 Oh No no - that's a compliment. Check that guy out. He's hilarious. Channel is "mw2losers".

Yeah man I didn't take it as a bash. I am comfortable with who I am. Otherwise I wouldn't post videos. I don't know the guy you are talking about but I might go take a look.
