Some Exile love;

You may remember, I had my XM9s painted to match the '08 Outback. This time around I figured I'd try to spray em myself. Before, scuffed and ready to prime;


Ready for color;


I also PlastiDip'd the grilles;


I think they came out great!

Ian, that looks Aewsome .

With all the plasti dip talk on here. I was thinking about my xm9 grills, originally I had ordered them black but the black we're back ordered so I got the chrome. How did you get it down the throat of the horn grill.?

got additional pics...

Yeah, bit of an understatement there.

Looks awesome. Is the black a flat finish?

They look AWESOME!!!

Say, is the green of the 2013's the same as the green of the 2010's???

If so, I see model paint in the background of the first pic, do you mind sharing the color code??

Those are even cooler than the blue!

Regarding painting the grills; it seemed that the PlastiDip just goes right in the horn hole; I didn't have to do anything.

Regarding color; it is my understanding that Intense Green is new for 2013, but I haven't seen them side by side. I used ModelMaster Sublime Green (Mopar) which isn't exact, but is pretty close.

The key to making it look good is in the clear coat; I use Rustoleam Painters Touch 2x Coverage clear coat - it is the best clear I've ever seen!

Here is a picture that shows the color match - like I said, not exact but close enough for me, especially since they won't be next to each other;
