Couple base coats... (X > 2)

A Gang of Clear coats...(X > 5 coats)

ur straight after that... that grill will be so protected... ur good to go.. its almost the same concept when painting over rims... it looks flawless...

I used the same paint from the rims (HIgh Temp Paint) Black... and a Clear... NEver chipped my friends ride ever... and we go up to the canyons ALOT!!! so i guess i would recommend the High Temp Paint from Pep BOys if anything...
