Painting honey comb part on grill

[SMiGGs]

Okay i want to paint the honey comb part on my grill. I want to paint it black, its grey right now. What paint and prep should i do. I know the honey comb part is notorious for water marks.

I was thinking of just getting le flat black, and spraying it.

I would suggest buying a can of bulldog adhesion promoter, it works good to help the paint stick..I have some that I used when i colormatched my parts

I would scuff it up with some scotch bright,wax and grease remover it real good,adhesion promote,prime,base,clear

I just washed mine real good, a little adhesion promoter and sprayed with krylon black. Been that way for 2.5 years now, no need to redo yet

I never really paid attention to mine, Id just go the adhesion promoter way, and some black.. no need to clear i would think. Mine is gray as well. Just not on the priority list at the moment. Do not want to scuff every little honeycomb

i would get the plastic dye that people use for the lower valance.

Yours looks gloss black and you can tell it, lol. I did mine in a metallic deep grey color and love it.. Its just enough to look black but up close its more of a dark grey with flakes in it.

Yea I wanted the glossy finish I just think it looks better against white, your looks good too though, I need to do my valance

like this

I did mine, scrubbed with a course brisle brush and dish soapy water. Krylon fusion satin black, no real prep so I will be interested in seeing how it lasts.

I had my entire grille painted white. Taped off around grille, sanded honey comb down then used black spray paint from the dollar store. Over a year no problems. I use in and out spray every so often to freshen it up a bit.

i did my 03 with plastidip on the honeycomb part...still looks good and its been done for over a year. its kind of semi gloss

Why? Remove, clean, mask chrome, spray, reinstall, done. Literally no harder than my NBS grille except you dont have any goofy ass shapes around the bowtie thus making masking easier
