The only advice I can offer is to make sure you have a sufficient amount on the applicator.

Definitely worth having trial run on something before applying to your grilles etc.

Is it worth giving it a couple of coats or just stick with one good coat?

One coat I think mate. as long as it’s applied correctly I don’t think it’ll needs a second coat.

I’ve always just applied one layer albeit CarPro Delux which I think is pretty much the same stuff as far as I know.

Great thanks mate,also did you use the body panel wipes to clean the surface? @Sunglasses_Ron

From memory I used Carpro erasure

My front grille is navy in colour, is this the way it's supposed to be or has it faded from black?

It doesn't look gray like normal trim goes.

Clean the plastics down well before applying it to remove any old trim residue, use ipa or whatever. It goes on easy enough with the applicator, one coat is enough.
