Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off

My original inner grille was obviously trashed (multiple breaks). NOS grilles are hard to come by, are very expensive, and can still have issues of their own. While you all aware of my repro fitment issues...the grille CPP makes is the only "factory" option we have right now and still makes sense for me. Since the inner "crate" is already silver, I elected to mask that and respray everything black. I initially started masking with pin striping tape, thinking that would be quick and sized appropriately...but it was actually a pain and took much longer than regular masking/trimming. What's more, after more time than I'd care to admit masking the lower section...this is what it looked like when I returned to it in the morning.
