I really want to paint my entire grille QNO white. How hard would this be to do?? Can I buy QNO paint in a spray can over the web or something? I already have plastic primer for the first coat, what do I need to do to do this?? Thanks guys.

before you put any paint on it make sure you scruff up the chrome with sandpaper. did this on my friends mustang then put about 4 coats black and 3 coats clear. looks great

Are you serious? Do you know what they charge to do the door handles?

not sure, never tried because I never wanted to take them off to have them painted. I am just trying to find some used ones that are my color (so far i've got 2)

To me, it only looks bad if it's on a light colored car, but on dark cars, it looks good.
