Hey buddy I did mine on my jeep compass I found out using adhesion promotor after you prime it makes the shine come out better before you spray it black. Love the video
@@aspenoliver423 mine is a 3.6 and, issues?....aw man lmao. I went thru a blown head gasket and a motor at 100k. I wont be keeping it much longer and plan on upgrading to a 5.7 possibly in the next few months. Not to discourage anyone from getting a 3.6 but I just went thru the absolute worst mechanical storm.
@@ZPTVChannel thanks for replying now I’m a little worried . I just bought it a 2012 jeep Cherokee Laredo . Engine is quiet and the transmission is good .. do you think adding some Lucas oil will prevent these problems?
@13_islander you could try. I think the main problem with these engines is low oiling at idle causing lifter failure. So if they idle for long periods of time they’re probably more prone to these issues. All depending on the mileage you may be in the clear. If it’s under 100,000 then your probably good for a while and if it’s over 150,000 and the engine is quiet more than likely the cam and lifters have been replaced before.
@quikSILVER1284 I sold it probably a week after I did this.. it still looked exactly the same but I don’t think it was on there long enough to really tell or not.
@eddieespinal2546 oh yea mine is a 2 piece grille so the front chrome piece comes off separate from the back. I’m assuming your meaning the back piece is gray on yours. So once you pull off the chrome piece you’ve got full access to paint the back!

I’ll have to remember that next time!
Yessir @@ZPTVChannel
Do you know where u could find the grill inserts the honey comb ones for a grand Cherokee 2011
A mi también me interesa
I have the same year Grand Cherokee but mine is white so I'll be doing the same thing but with white paint.
Is it the 5.7? If so how many miles does it have and have you had any issues
@aspenoliver423 it is the 5.7. We ended up selling it because of the infamous Hemi tick. The cam and lifters failed.

what are you thinking for the side chrome? I have the same Jeep but 2015! And i want to black it out so bad. The chrome drives me insane !
I was just going to completely remove it!
I completely removed mine, I plasti dipped front and rear Jeep badges
I was scared of the same thing for the back button , I ended up taping it off and spraying the rest , looks nice with the little silver button tho!
That’s probably what I’ll end up doing!
how many miles are on the jeep
145,xxx at the moment
@@ZPTVChannelany transmission problems and engine ?
@@13_islander I ended up selling it a little bit ago. Didn’t have any transmission or transfer case issues but the cam and lifters went bad…

Please post an update video after a few thousand miles.
Any update on the finish?
Edit. See you sold it. Happen to have any pics of the grille before sale?

How has it been? Looking at 2012 5.7 JGC 130k two owners with great service history
We actually sold it a little bit ago because of the infamous Hemi cam and lifter issue…
I wanna do mines that looks good mines is the grey grill but wanna black it out if you can do a video removal slot of ppl would appreciate it
Mine didn’t have the removable slots… the slots are on the newer models.
I have a13 trailhawk so it's probably the same

No the grill comes grey not chrome on the trailhawks I guess that tells them apart from the others
I'll take all the chrome pieces!
Overspray
Bro I want to do the same
