Title: Gloss or flat for black paint on grill? Powder coat?
Post by: FresnoBob on October 01, 2018, 16:51:23

Should the black grill in front of the radiator be gloss or flat black?  Has anyone powder coated their grill to make it more impervious to rocks and chipping?

I'd say more satin than gloss.

Me thinking it would be same tone as the trunk and rocker covers.

Rustoleum painters touch semi gloss black works nicely.

Thank you everyone!  I will apply a satin black powder coat.
