OEM Grill Painted Black (Pics On Car
I ended up using the Behr clear coat with the Krylon paint becasue I tested it on a bottle and it was fine, It's been drying for about an hour and looks great.

Give it lots of time to dry, don't want any finger prints embedded into the CC when installing it.

everything
100 grit? And you painted right over that? Usually you sand with 400-600 before basecoat. Must look like a wolverine clawed the whole thing....
