Re: Need your advice for painting grille/bezels

I do a lot of parts restoration and for exterior use like the bezels and grill, I use interior plastic paint custom mixed by a Car Quest affiliated paint supply store that is color matched with UV inhibiting agents, semi-gloss resins in Argent Silver and after the parts are painted you can apply a satin clear. None of this is available in a ready to shoot spray can.

Yes, custom paint is an area where I suggest spending quality time and money to do it once.

Thanks G. I will check with the supplier to see if they can do what you mention and put it in a rattle can with the activator punch kind, just to check all my options.
