I have to paint part of the front end of my car where the grille is because I want to put on another grille. So when I take off the grille its silver with 6 crappy little holes (picture) : "http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/8/web/608000-608999/608775_45_full.jpg"
(I'm sure you F-body guys know that already)
Anyways, I have a grille and Im going to paint it, and also the front end to hopefully come up with something like so:
Question is, what kind of paint, is there special good stuff? Should I have my neighbor try to do it professionally done?
One guy did it and i got this response:
"Thanks! I painted it at home with SEMS (brand) Satin Black. Removed the stock grille, scuffed the area with a scotch pad, cleaned with rubbing alcohol, then masked and sprayed. Yeah I drilled the pilot holes, don't recall the size bit. The grille has been on since Dec 00 with no probs."
