i sanded mine and then rattle canned it matt black. took about twenty minutes all in and looks way smarter.....

[Guest]

I need to do this on GTB BH, the chrome is chipping off, and to buy another grille is pretty expensive. Is there a special type of paint that is recommended that will give a smooth finish from the can?
