I warmed my paint up this morning by the heater for a bit. It came out nice and smooth with no bubbles or funny bits. I did about 3 coats spread out over an hour using appliance epoxy paint. I will let it sit until just after lunch time and check for any areas that need a touch up and I'll take all the tape off tomorrow. Damn excited for this grille. It looks like I'll only need to make some slight changes to install it (hood latch and two mounting locations). Pulled the tape and was very surprised that it was pretty well cured. It has a few spots that will need a touch up, but she should look way better when mounted.

Carefully cut red acetate and taped about a 3/16†border around the edge with thin double sided taped. It’s translucent and reflective so light should refract a little on direct light and can back light from the dash at night or any other ambient light from the windshield. I spent maybe 8 bucks on this stuff to do it. I have about a sheet and a half of any of these come off or get damaged. This is sitting on my light table so I could see what it looked like back lit. Next step is sanding and restaining the wood rings. Took a recommendation from Kursed on the color, I chose a red mahogany stain to enhance the red, and should also go well with my wood interior paneling.
