What kinda paint you guys think I should use on it? It's just a basic grey plastic right now. I'm thinking of either going over once with some silver, masking the front of the grill and then spraying it a second time with a flat black to give it some depth. Or just blasting the whole thing flat black, and matching the areas around the signal lights with it (not sure why they colore around the headlight black and not the signal lights, that would have looked meaner!) I don't have a compressor / automotive paint sprayer (my dad does, somewhere in his 2 car garage that house FIVE FLIPPIN' CARS. Try finding anything pfft...)
A good quality spray paint will give you good lasting results.I would suggest a semi gloss finish. Good prep is key to it adhering well
I did mine in semi-gloss black and painted the horizontal bars in argent silver ( where the GTs would have stainless grille bars). Left the raised portions of the headlight doors shiny while painting the insets there black, too. Sorry I don't have pics yet ... the rest of the car needs to go back together a bit before I can show this off, but it does look good. I have seen them completely blacked-out, and don't like it ... they need some subtle detail, without really standing out, if that makes sense.
