Sharktooth grille repair

Hi Twisted71 - keep the pictures and info coming.

I'm wondering if you need to tape off the silver and then the fins like you are doing - not knocking what you are doing, just from my experience on first grille, painting fins black and then taping them off and shooting silver over worked ok. I am attaching some pictures of first grille I did over summer. If you look closely in 1st picture you can see missing fins I had to rebuild and just a "few" cracks that had to be repaired.

Fourth Picture shows black being applied before I taped off fins. I tried to keep overspray to a min. around fins so it looks like the fins aren't fully covered, but they are.

Last 2 pictures show finished product.
