    front grille?

    I am going to paint the front grille but cannot figure out for the life of me how to take it apart from the hood. maybe i am doing something wrong.

    oh, it's a 1987 honda accord lx-i hatch.

    If anyone has any insight, that would help a ton.

    pictures coming soon. lowered,painted the whole car, new trim, mirrors, exhaust,front and rear lips,wheels and tires....and maybe a few more.

    well mine wasnt really stained but i love using rubbing alchohol it works wonders on all kinds of dirt but if its stainded then id try like rubbing compound on it or buffing compound (but be careful with rubbing compound that will scratch and go thru paint)
