Felllow mbrs...I'm planning to paint/spray my grille..is there a special can paint i should use(brand name)..thx

 

I'm a big fan of dupli color. It's decent quality paint at a good price. But I think the most important piece would be how well you prep the grille, not just paint.

 

well it depends what kind of finish you want. If you want gloss than I would just go with Dupli-Color. if you want more of a flat finish than go with Black Satin made by Mar-Hyde. I used Black Satin on my grille and put 2 coats of clear over it. if you hold the clear can back about a foot and mist it on, it will give a nice textured look

 

You should plasti dip it ima do mine this weekend

 

agreed! prep work is just as important as the paint! some would agrue its even more important but I rate them equal to achieving the best results. i used a red scotch brite on mine and ran it thru each and every piece of the grille (honey comb)

 

John , where u taking yours to do?....
Whitemax...how much cans u think will cover the grille?
Thx guys..

 

1 can will do the grille no problem. 3 or 4 coats~

 

Plasti Dip is the ****. I jus plasti dipped my grille black looks real nice, plus its reversible. Only cost me 6 bucks at Home depot for one can.

 

I jus did it at home didnt take it any where

 

for you can see for your self

 

I like how u left the nissan burger and the outside lip chrome. Any pics installed?? Ive been on the fence about the plastidip... I just like that its reversible loll.

 

Yea dipped mine, works great and looks so sexy!

 

Im gonna go buy the dip this week and do it... sounds easy enough

 

Plasti dip is ridiculosuy easy to do. I just did my grille two weeks ago. will post a pic

 

I painted mine and regret it. I have gotten a couple rock chips already. Of course only I would notice them but I was only after a week or so and Im pissed. Is plasti dip still and option at this point now that its painted?

 

I would assume if you can put it over factory paint you can put it over aftermarket paint

 

Same happened to mine with regular spray paint. First day, 3 rock chips and the grill looked awful. Took it off and redid the paint with Plasti Dip. Once that was done I clear coated it several coats. Have been driving with that for 3 weeks now and no chips. Much better set up.
