Default Paint front grill/ Lift

Hi guys new to the site, i got an 06 h3 and want to paint the grill to match the grayish stock bumper i have already took the grill off and sanded it down, if anyone can tell me what paint i should use it would be appreciated. Im also starting to wheel it and was wondering if anyone has done the torsion bar crank with rear shackles and 1" body lift, I will post more and add pics as it grows

Welcome to the forum. You should go to a reputable paint store around you, they should have a code for you for the paint. If not, and they are a old school paint shop they may need you to bring in something to reference, and the air breathers by the windshield are the perfect thing for just that.
Otherwise I would go the way alot of other members have and bed-liner it...
The body lifts aren't that popular, not to many people have done them. But you could absolutely do one w/ a torsion life and rear shackles without any issues. Post some pics when you get a chance. What mods are done to her already?

welcome to the forum!

don't drill your stock rims. it will only weaken the bead. i saw a kit once that attaches to your stock wheels with adhesive and looks like a beadlock. remember to have to have your wheels balanced after.

just a word to the wise, you should post these kind of questions on the h3 board or one of the more specific tech boards . you'll find a lot of good info from folks who've already done "IT" there.
