I used just rattle can, dupli-color acrylic enamel black. I removed the chrome piece from the black grill, the retainer clips came off easy and were reusable. I wet sanded the chrome finish and laid down 4 coats of the black. It turned out really great. I am sure it will chip easy, but then I will just take the time and repaint with some real paint, ie. PPG. But for now it looks great. I was thinking about cutting out the horizontal pieces in the grill and replacing with some aluminum mesh. But that will be a project for next summer. I will post pic's when I get the E-spec blinkers on, hopefully Wed night.
