Re: Volvo 850 - re-sprayed front grill

Did you use primer & then spray paint? I used enamel paint as it hard wearing.

Re: Volvo 850 - re-sprayed front grill

I masked up the badge & strip before spaying.
You mentioned that you scraped off the chorme, did it come off easy? I just sprayed over the top with two coats, still on!
Good Luck, you must upload a pic.

Re: Volvo 850 - re-sprayed front grill

Two coats, used enamel paint as dries quick & hard (I did not use primer, has not come off yet).
I've also sprayed the plastic inserts in the front bumper the same colour.

Volvo 850 - re-sprayed front grille

Hi,
Just sprayed my front grill black, I think it looks much better, your thoughts?
I used black enamel gloss spray paint.

Re: Volvo 850 2.0 20v non turbo - performance chip - ECU help

Hi all,

I've been in two minds as it does sound to good to be true! I think I'll give it a miss & take your advises.

I'll stick with my CAI, cone filter & VVIS mods.

Thanks again.

Chris.
