Question for those who have repainted/refreshed their grilles. Satin or Matt?? and what process did you use? |

Rub down, etch and paint. Satin looks better than matt and tends not to look 'dirty'. |

Got a close up of the badge?? I have 2 "spares" that have 2 silvers of metalic blue in the long cutouts |

I had a few grilles that i tidied up at the time i done the above one for my van, as for the centre badge, I polished them first ,wiped them down with Prepsol ,then masked up the long lines and hand painted them with a fine art brush and hobby paint , i just took the badge with me and tried to pick a paint colour as close as i could . |
