I painted all of my badges satin black ... SS and 6 litre V8 included.

Yeah Smitty, give us a pic mate!
Also give me a heads-up on the materials and procedure you used if you can.
You painted the whole grille?
What prep did you do?

Cheers

yeah...painted the whole thing with satin black (not Matt black)

took it off, wet it down with common old Kitchen spray 'n Wipe
let soak then hosed off and left outside to dry
..blew it off with compressed air then a mist coat of the black (spray can style)
let dry and then 2 full wet coats..then let dry. Took a day in all and the result....

apologies for imperfect pic..didnt matter where I took this from, the suns reflection off the screen was there :bang:

I like the rims in black, have been thinking about doing them to mine on a ignition SSV.

Job done!

Removed grille and removed "Lion" badge.

At this point I have only painted the chrome badge - thought I'd see how it looked before making a decision to paint the whole grille.

Cleaned all parts with Selleys Heavy Duty Cleaner.

Applied two coats of Wattyl Super Etch Black Etch Primer.

Applied 3 (light) coats of Dulux Satin Black paint.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions, much appreciated.
