grill paint
Hey I'm gonna paint my grill in the next few days but I haven't been able to find the vht heavy duty paint that many of you have used in the past..maybe it's discontinued? 
Instead I bought this one:

but maybe this one is better:

just remember to spray light and spray as many layers as possible, I didn't VHTs to paint my grill because they don't sell in my country, it came out nice and been handling the heavy duty weather over here nicely.
But stones and debris are going to be ur worst enemy, no matter how good ur paints are, so prep well so they stick better
i used this
result and matching with MB original

thanks for the replies guys. However im not sure if I'll be able to wrap it properly. Besides I'm not looking for the grill to match my car; the slats will be matte and I will make the crome + star glossy.
I guess I'll go ahead and use what I got..worse case I switch to another paint later.
