Hey Darren....
it looks great. About the same as my black Roush Grille....
I just wish I could have pased on one important bit of advice to you, before you sprayed it.
Here's the thing, I guarantee you its going to chip. Hopefully, not as badly / easily as mine did the first time" I painted it with Krylon Fusion.
I then sanded the heck out of the whole thing (hours of effed up labor) and then tried again with some kind of Satin Black yard furniture paint. I think it was Rustoleum brand. And it has held up quite a bit better, but it has started to get a few small chips here and there too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, my advice to you, if you end up having to sand off all of that Krylon, and to anyone else who was thinking about painting a chrome Roush Grille, or any other chrome, plastic, or whatever paint has a hard time sticking to, is > Bulldog < !!!
This stuff is awesome ! You really don't even have to sand before using it. But you can lightly hit your subject with sandpaper just to take the shine off first if you want to.
Bulldog comes in a large aeresol can, and it isn't cheap, like $15 to $18 a can, but it's worth its weight in gold. I won't ever paint anything again which paint has a hard time sticking to, without it.
But good luck.
Peace,
Fish
PS, If I knew that some sort of chemical paint stripper would not destroy my Roush Grille, I'd strip it all off, hit it with Bulldog first, then spray it, and I know it would hold up better than any other method.
