Front Grille Paint?

Moderator73 · Nov 6, 2024

Well I’ve spent the last month or more repairing 23 broken or missing ABS plastic sections to restore my front grille. It's been more of an experiment to see if I could do it, and I think it's going to work. Next I got all the Zbart and grime cleaned off & prepped for paint. Today I sprayed it with the "SEM Trim Black" thinking that was probably the right stuff??? Now I’m wondering if I screwed this up. This satin sheen is pretty flat compared to what it looked like pre-repair but it might have been painted before I owned it so don’t really know. Hoping to get some help/advice setting me straight on what’s the right paint/sheen for our grilles…
Thanks
Bob

On my 72, the original unpainted grill has more of a semi-gloss finish. You may be able to add a coat of semi-gloss over the flat to achieve the desired finish.
