Since I can't do a "search" right now, can someone recommend a rattle can silver paint for painting my grill???

Everyone that I've seen painted silver (Carolina chrome :D ) just doesn't look right. You can wet sand it with 400, them 800, and polish with aluminum polish and it will look like new again. Just takes a little more work. :cool:

Seems like it would be hard to get down into each one of the "egg crates". Hope you have small hands!

Oooops :rolleyes: hehe, I thought you mean't the metal part. I've never heard of anyone painting the egg crate silver, but if you do be sure to spray a coat of "mid-coat adhesion promoter" first. It's basically a plastic parts primer.

Have you tried Eastwoods, they seem to have just about everything.

We use Argent paint or Eastwood has "Alumiblast" in cans that comes real close to the Argent. Clean thoroughly, prime and paint.
