Alright so I am wanting to paint my grill black along with the headlights. What paint should I use. Also do I need to ruff up the grill?

If you are going to do it yourself and not by a professional i would do this:
Remove grill
Sand it down/scuff
Acetone to clean
Duplicolor rattle can paint
Duplicolor rattle can clear coat (more coats than the paint)
Wet sand 1500-2000 grit
Rubbing compound
Polish
Wax
Install grill

Take you time or you'll end up with a mess!

So with the plastic dip spray paint can I just spray on? Also how do you think it will look on the hood? Do you think I could use it for the blacked out light project?
