Whats up guys? I have a white 98 eddie bauer expy and I really want the grill to be white. Do you think it is a good or bad idea to spray paint the grill with with krylon spray paint? If so will it look professional or close to it? Suggestions are welcome

Its All in the prep.. Just prep it right and put some clear cotes on it so it will last.

i spray painted mine black and it turned out pretty good. and i used the krylon. just make sure you prep it good to get all the flaking off. and use even coats. take your time so it doesnt run or glob up.

well since they are usually coated in a cheap layer of chrome dip, they flake. so sand it down the best you can. us an adhesion promoter that you can find at just about any autoparts store. then, spray away. just make sure it is clean before you spray.

I'm guessing you have Oxford white paint? Not sure if the white Krylon will match or not.
