painting a billet grille

i was thinking about getting a billet grille off ebay, and i was toying with the idea of painting it completely black.



what type of paint would i use to paint it? would i need special paint since it is aluminum? i have access to a paint booth at school, so i might be able to do a better job there.

i also have stock headlights and do not plan doing anything with them, except maybe buffing them out.

Re: painting a billet grille

I did the same. Got a billet aluminum grille off ebay and just used flat black spray paint from walmart or autozone. I did 3 coats of black and 2 coats of clearcoat for protectant. Honestly, powdercoating is a more permanent fix, but my paint has lasted a few months already and still looks great. check out the pics on my signature!
