Two questions:

Did you get that bad boy spritzed up yet?

Did you have to add anything to the paint in order for it to adhere to the plastic?

yeah i got it done but you can see the sanding marks where i sanded the plastic
to make the paint stick
so im redoing it and sanding it in stages with different grits to get the marks out
it should be done today
if it turns out good im going to do the side pieces also

I have a question that some other members here may be able to answer regarding your possible next project. You said that after you get the mini grill installed with the body color backing, you may try the same on the mini side grill inserts you have. Are these vents on the sides not there to direct air into the wheel cavity to cool the brakes and also for the cold air intake on the passenger side? If so, my question is, would blocking them off pose any kind of risk/performace problem?

I believe they are there for looks. Block them off, take them off, won't make a difference.
