    what kind of paint will stick well to a plastic grill, i was going to use krylon fusion paint for plastics, has anyone used that with good results. i'm re-installing my original 74' grill.

    I also used rustoleum ... takes longer to dry ... but is bulletproof once it cures ...

    Fusion works great---forumulated for plastic. Make sure it's good and clean. Experts suggest wiping down with some type of solvent before painting (acetone or lacquer thinner) to "open the plastic pores" that will promote adhesion. Test the solvent on an inconspicuos place first.
