Default getting ready to rhinoline but need input

OK first off mods im sorry if this is not the correct place to post this but i didnt know where else it would go so with that out of the way...
Im planing on rhino lining my XJ soon. I wasn't sure if I was going to do the whole thing or just the bottom half so what i did was go ahead and primer the bottom section of the jeep where i was thinking i would bed line. I have decided to do just the lower section where the primer is now, my question is this... I have no clue how to do the grill/front area so that it will look halfway decent. So im posting up a few pic's(sorry i guess i was shaky lol) and would like any input on how you guys think it should be done or how you would do it ect. idk if i should move the primer(bedliner) line up some to match the line in the grill or what







thanks for your input guys&gals

looks sick so far!! i personally think you should move the rhino lining up to match the grill/trim line or atleast to that second body line. aaaand i'd probably remove the grill and headlight trim off the jeep then paint em just to be safe. it looks really good with the black rims!

thanks i just got the wheels i like them alot i had to get 16" wheels so i do Rustys over the knuckle steering soon
ya the plan is to take everything apart doors fenders grill everything apart and prime everything with black primer (door jams ect) anywhere the bed liner will be. Ya i think sunday if it dont rain ill try to prime up to that upper body line that lines up with top of the grill/headlight housing and see what that looks like. just wanted to start low because its really hard to "unpaint" it lol
anyone have any ideas???

haha yeah it'd be pretty hard to unpaint it. i was thinking about rhino lining from the bottom body line down, doing gloss black from the second body line down to the rhino line, doing lime green from the second body line up and doing my diff covers, springs, and drivelines lime green but idk how'd it look yet haha

i did the same thing on mine.



grill was factory black if i was you i would match that. i would also go up higher on that body line to the top of it. that will have it be a little closer to matching up in the front
