    Best spray paint for grill?

    Well i got my new grill today for my Accord. I don't have the money to get it professionaly painted and also its just a custom 90-91 grill anyways, nothing special.
    Whats the best quality spray paint? There has to be one better than the other

    im a big fan of Dupli-color.

    when u buy paint, make sure u buy a nice big can of clearcoat... ur gonna need to put quite a bit on because the grille is one of the things that gets beat up most.

        Since money is an issue, and you insist on using a spray can, then I suggest going to a paint shop and give them your paint code so they can mix up a spray can paint, price is around $15-$20 and is better quality and correct color for your car. But if your really really cheap, and cant do the $15 can, go with Krylon and a cheap 89 cent Wallmart clear. Ohh yea, you might wanna pick up a can of primer too.

          Paint on Grille?

          What paint do you use to paint your grille all black? I've seen it done quite a bit and I'm loving it.

            rustoleum black... flat/semi flat/gloss is up to you, but i recommend flat to match the rubber/mouldings on the rest of the car

                I used Rustoleum Satin Black on my grille. Came out great!

                The satin finish gives it the 'fresh application of Armor-All' look.
