Spray touch up

Yeah, got the code - Toreador Red.

Was thinking about using it to paint the grill insert.

Grill

Either the stock honeycomb... Or I saw one on here - not sure the style name, I think its the plain jane XL grill - where he cut out the vertical pieces and just left the 2 horizontal bars and painted it black. His was on a white Screw. I really liked it.

Yea, SW has the best in Automotive paints IMO. I'll be shooting the entire truck with it as soon I get the rest of the new metal all welded in, it's taking forever, - hate body work lol. They just started recently putting out Aerosol cans w/the best quality you can get. They can it the day of the shoot, - how it's mixed depends on the weather.

Would work great for touch up if you want that factory shine. I won't be using cans of course lol. I use a HVLP gun.

He probably thought you were going to use a paint roller too!

Alot of people aren't aware of the Sherwin-Williams automotive line, hardest part is finding a place that sells the stuff.

That is funny lol. I've done Pore15 and Calyx Manaifold dressing (for headers) with a brush tho.

But nope, never a roller, not yet anyway lol.

Yea SW will mix in the promoter for you that day.
