French Flag on Grill

[.LiamC.]

I've seen that a few people have paintd the French flag on the grill of there 1*2's, I like the look of it and want to do it too mine as well. Question is, what type of paint are you using and have you got any tips for doing it.

Cheers, Liam

Oh ok, fair enough. Won't that peel over time though?

 

[Budgie]

Just replace it when it peels. Simple

I was the origin of this 'mod' lol and I just used tape, and like already mentioned when it starts to peel...replace with new tape

I tried to paint it the other week with model (like airfix) paint but it went to shite and ended up respraying the grille!

Stick with tape! Lol

i've been looking at doing the same thing, at the bottom of my front bumper to the inside of the fog lights i have four oval cut outs on either side, and was thinking there would look pretty sweet

I know what you mean, i'm going to leave it for a week and see if it grows on me.

At least it's easy to get off if I don't like it

Electrical tape is available on ebay or places like halfords.

Also on ebay are specific french flag bits of vinyl.

Electrical tape? The internet, b&Q, Homebase, Hardware stores, probably even Tesco nowadays!

 

[cat171]

Don't bother, it's not cool. It looks crap.

 

[.LiamC.]

Don't do it, it looked awful. Not sure why I did it now!
