Couple of questions:
Did you guys use high temp paint for this?
Does the paint that the auto stores mix up for you come in different brands (like Krylon Fusion, or the high temp stuff) or is it just a certain brand or type?

No, it's pretty statndard paint, but you can get krylon or high temp to paint stuff, I did my engine trim pieces in high temp and am doing some other pieces in krylon. My grill will be high temp too, but doesn't need to be

ehh, too much blue flake IMO.

Jaysfan5432

Yeah a little too much blue. I would have stock with a satin or maybe gloss black with some gold flakes.

i think your right im gonna try for the gold flake, instead of the blue, with a gloss black on everything, else except for the chrome ring and the gold emblem.

I want to take the grill off my hood and fix it up, but my screws will not loosen. Has anyone else had a problem with their 4 screws coming off. I have taken a wrench to them and they wont budge at all. Thanks for any reply

Nice tips. I like small side projects

I painted the black plastic part of my grill with spray on bed liner from the auto parts store, it has a nice textured finish that hides imperfections n chips, it's durable, and won't fade like black spray paint. I even had a top corner cracked off and reshaped the corner with scotch tape and epoxy and then sanded and sprayed with the spray on bed liner and you can't even tell it was repaired!
