Hey havk323.....
well, I sanded it, and painted it with the krylon fusion satin that a lot of people here talk about.... and it quickly started chipping and failing.
So, I sanded it all back off, roughed it a bit more, and then primered it first, with black automotive primer, then sprayed ot with rustoleum satin black for steel yard furniture :-) So far, that has worked very well, with zero chips.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
However, if I were to do it again, I'd get a can of the stuff I used on my chrome badges, called BullDog adhesion promotor, and spray it with that stuff first. They claim that it will make paint stick "permanently" to glass, chrome, steel, plastic, ceramic, you name it ! Pretty expensive though... like $20 for a spray can.
Peace,
Fish

Okay, so I sanded and painted my grille and surround last week, the day before I had my powder coat bumpers put on.
They came out pretty good. I had said early on, a 9 out of 10.... but the more I look at it, I'd say an 8, or 7.5 out of 10. Couple small dust specks, and a few spots that are glossier than the rest.
But the real killer, is that overall, apparently Krylon fusion satin black, is just glossier than my powder coat bumpers, or my Pro Comp wheels (which are nearly a spot on match to each other).
So, now I'm thinking about waiting for a day off when it's not windy (Huh ! Good luck) and then yanking off the grille and surround, doing a light sanding (should I wet or dry sand it ?) then shooting it with another brand of satin black.
Obviously it would be smart to test a few different brands of satin black, first, until I find the best match. Any suggestions ? How is Rustoeleum ? I'm thinking that any brand of flat black would just be too flat... or flatter at least, than my Krylon plastic satin.....
Another thought; I had originally went with Krylon plastic paint, because I was painting over (duh) plastic. But now that the grille has a couple good layers of this paint on it, the next paint won't be trying to adhere to plastic.
However, will other paints adhere okay to Krylon plastic paint ? ....or do I need to test that theory too ?
I'm thinking.... test.... test.... test.... before I go making an even bigger problem.
Your thoughts and suggestions please,
Thank you,
