Does anyone know what kind of spray paint is used to color the front grill a glossy black? Also, can u post some pics?

 

PM dakine he can hook u up :D

 

thanks trd

 

hes done serveral custom grills mod and he also paints them too. the lower grill mod is amazing it snaps into place as if it was OEM!

 

spray paint WILL chip. My first grille was a diy thing that i spray painted. 3 months later, it was chipped to hell.

 

chips suck

 

mine isn't that bad at all after 3 months. touch it up from time to time though.

 

no chips here. its been 1 yr

 

what kind of paint did u all use. someone said Krylon Fusion works well

 

Couple base coats... (X > 2)

A Gang of Clear coats...(X > 5 coats)

ur straight after that... that grill will be so protected... ur good to go.. its almost the same concept when painting over rims... it looks flawless...

I used the same paint from the rims (HIgh Temp Paint) Black... and a Clear... NEver chipped my friends ride ever... and we go up to the canyons ALOT!!! so i guess i would recommend the High Temp Paint from Pep BOys if anything...

 

do you have to sand, did you sand b4 you painted your rims

 

I sanded mine before I primered then painted. I think I used more then 1 can of clear coat though. Mines holding up rather well.

 

How about if you want the flat black? WHat paint would you guys suggest then?
