Styling Painting the grill

[TheFiatMonkey09]

Hi everyone. Hope all is well. I'm not sure if I'm posting In the right section, please move this if its wrong. I'm want to paint the two front grills on my bravo either silver or a chrome. Can anyone recommend a good make of paint and a guide on how to prepare the plastic grill. I've heard you need plastic primer to bottom coat it before applying paint and lacour. Any help is appreciated

nothing special tbh any car paint will do, just make sure you use a plastic primer paint first
actual chrome paint is pretty naff and hard to get an good result

alternatively just buy grills from a facelift bravo

It's a bit deer at £50 plus £8 pp so I'm just looking at painting now. So my car is like a soft sky blue colour. What colour would look good but also stand out. No vibrant colours please

You can forget about painting it chrome, it's impossible to get a good durable result.

So just any colour I like then. Hmm wonder what it would look like colour coded to the body paint.

the best thing for black plastics is to spray them in black and then laquer. that gives a high end look that you see only on expensive and concept cars.
