...Been wanting to Black Out the Trim for a Long While. The Taping Off was a Lesson in Patience and the Use of 'Panters Blue Tape'...into Tiny Places, was a PIA, that paid off well. I covered the Entire Car with a Large sheet of clear plastic then tore open where I was working and Taped it down, for No Over-Spray. I'am Happy with the results.

The 'Nose Grill' is Gone, never to come back, SOLD. The Mounting Trim was Cut Off and sanded, for the 'Open Mouth' Look. Being the 'Rock-Guard' is Gone. I Fashioned one from a Finer Grill, mounted close, In front of the Radiator. The Open 'Mouth' Scoops More air, it blk lblk iblk hblk kblk ablk cdoes run cooler, by a Little. I never Liked the Factory Grill. Thousands of Panteras have them. I think they are Ugly.

Took her out today, to 'Bake On' The Satin Paint. She runs Beautifully! NOT Wanting for Power, I can Not even 'Crack Open' the Secondaries, she gets Too Loose!.

Left to do, a Hand Washing and Paint up the Paint Chips.

...A Tip.

If You do this Yourself, you can save time and tape by using a SINGLE Length 1/4" Plastic Tubing stuffed in the Cleaves along the top of the door and back down, between the door window and the 'B' window trim. This allows the spraying of paint along the Chrome trim, with none of the paint hitting the Rubber Door weather stripping. The Tubing Pushes, easily into the void and stays put. I used 1/4" Black 'garden irrigation' tubing.

Pull the Tube Out, once the Paint becomes Tacky.
