i just took the grill off its like 12 8mm nuts and bolts because i just tape stuff off on my bumper and sprayed. Then when i went to pull the tape off the plastidip was coming off with it. So, when i sprayed to fix it up. I would spray like two coats the pull the tape and re tape and spray more coats
