hey all, i'm gonna buy a ss/tc upper grille for my ls within the next few weeks and i want to paint it flat black. can someone give me advice/directions on doing the painting properly? i saw on one forum that you need to sand/rinse/primer/(color of choice)/clear, but then ive heard that you only need to paint and then let it dry and it will be good to go. which method would be the best and withstand rain, snow, and hot weather the best?


thanks

 

kyrlon fusion for plastic. flat black
take the grill and spray it.
all you gota do
no clear nothing

thats what i did and mine is perfect.

 

The TC Grill is basically flat black plastic to begin with

 

It's more gray than flat black. I painted my bowtie flat black and it's a huge difference.

 

yeah huge difference
its grey.
flat black looks 100% better

 

Agree. Paint it. I can tell such a difference. I used Kyrlon Fusion. All I did was clean it then let it dry. Don't use anything with soap or oil in it.
