Spraying grilles

[Dec-F]

I am planning to spray my grilles a matt black. Just wondering whether or not I should use heatproof paint as I'm not sure how hot the radiator gets. I doubt its necessary but thought i might as well check

Cheers,
Dec.

Normal spray paint is fine mate

Make sure its cleaned, keyed and primered properly and your onto a winner.

Cheers for the speedy reply bud. Got all of that sorted, just wanted one last check before I started. Thanks again

As above I used normal primer/paint/lacquer and it's absolutely fine.

Do the fog light surrounds & splitter (if applicable) whilst you're at it. Smartens the front up no end.

I don't have either unfortunately mate. Cheers though!

iv done this twice, take it nice and slow with thin layers of paint
looks great when done.
