What to use?

I want to paint the mesh cover in front of my HE and fog lights as there are a lot of chips starting to show. What is a good auto store paint that I should use to touch 'er up a bit? Thanks in advance.

Trying to find out what that great spray paint so that I don't have to paint them 2x a year.

Powder coating probably couldn' hold up too well as the mesh material is pretty flexible. I would think that once baked the they would crack easily?? Anyone have a positive exerince with power coating them??

Honestly I would give the best Walmart automotive paint a try...I had my engine cover and air box painted with Walmart paint. Just sand it right.

No joking, try Rustoleum paint. It holds up very well to outdoor use and comes in vatrious colors. You can do a satin or matte black finish if you'd like. If the grill is metal it's work really well.

I used to re-paint the 76 Ventura's grill with that and have used it on dome parts on my 65 GTO. Another place to check for excellent auto paints is Eastwood. Good luck.
