The Grey Ares are the parts that will be rendered when complete the black areas wont so you'll need to fix this - Select the effected areas and click Face -> Reverse Vertex Order

Is Face -> Reverse Vertex Order supposed to turn them grey because when I click it they just stay black.

And Alcoholic it's from a video tutorial :lol:

It should turn them black basicly what happens is when u aply faces to your vertex's you need to apply them in a clockwise order (if not they go black) If Reversing the order doesnt work maybe you should try doing that part again
