Painting Side Grill Inserts

[Jiffy]

I was washing my car and noticed I could pop out those side grille things in front of my doors on my 99 bird. I thought it would be so cool If I could paint them to be a billet alluminum look. I don't want them to be crome. What kind of paint should I use? Does anyone sell billet alluminum replacments?

Mine are black again but for a while I had mine painted. I used silver aluminum paint and they looked awesome. They didnt look like chrome, which was good since that wasnt the look I was going for, but they were definately shiny. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Where did you get the silver alluminum paint? I think Im going to do it, becuase if it doesn't look good I can always paint them back.
