Painting Grille Satin Black
 
My grille is kinda beat looking. I was thinking about painting it satin black.

I know that painting plastic has its own set of challenges. Does anyone have any paint recommendations? What about prepping the grille for the paint?

Thanks

Clean/degrease grill with a good cleaner.Wipe with denatured alcohol and use Fusion paint,its made for plastic and actually melts into the surface{like pvc glue}.

That Fusion paint is an amazing product. We have had great luck with it on several projects.
