    When I re did the paint on the cheesegraters, I masked off using different widths of 3M green tape. It's a very light silver. Very similiar to the louvered fender silver. So close, I went with it.

    Using a small mini Sata Jet gun did the trick.

    Roger Gibson/Frank Baladson's grille paint has a better pewter color/grain like what the OEM's were than what the rattle can competitors offer.   :2cents:

    That looks good TC. So is the grille in the picture painted with Gibson's paint?

    Yes.

    You have to build coats up reducing the paint at1 part paint to 3 parts fast Laquer thinner. Reduced Fan pattern for the grille.

    I might spray a light clear over it to keep the paint it's highest durability.
