My 1991 Mitsubishi Montero needs a bit of love on its face. The grille and headlight surrounds are chipping and the black paint I sprayed a few years prior is fading. So I set out on an easy fix to help clean all that up.

Yes, I will need to do this again down the road, but for now, I am quite happy with how it looks. In the future, I will spend far more time sanding the grille to get it totally smoothed out and remove the past paint runs. But let’s be real here… this is a vehicle that I enjoy flinging up dirt-covered trails and through tree-lined forest paths. I’m going to scratch it, ding it, and enjoy the hell out of getting it filthy. So for this truck, this job is more than good enough.
