Painting
the Chrome Pony Corral Black
by Matt O. (Matt-00GT)
Makes your pony look like it's runnin' free :-)
In stock form there is a chrome ring around the pony. The Chrome ring
pops out and it can be painted black as described below. -

Whats needed: 1 can
flat black spray paint.
Step one
Pop hood. Pull on the
chrome corral grill piece (around pony) firmly on one side to get the
tabs to unhook.
Repeat for each side. This is not easy to do. You do not want to break
any of
the plastic tabs off that hold the piece on. Just take your time and
it will
come off. If you are really stuck then you can use 2 flat-head screwdrivers
and pry it off.
Step two
Thoroughly clean the chrome corral off.
Step three
Spray a coat of the flat black paint on the chrome part. Let the paint
sit for 20-30 mins and then come back and spray on a second even coat
of paint.
Step four
Let it COMPLETELY dry before attempting to attach it again. If you try
to push it on when the paint is not dry you will leave some nasty looking
fingerprints in the finish. That would look un-good, so just let it
dry for about 45mins.
Step five
Reattach by pushing in each side evenly. Do not push one side completely
in and then do the other side, it will get messed up and stuck.
Step six
Get ready for people to ask where you got your cool "black out
grille, and
where can I get one?"
