    did a search on this and the old forum. Didnt really find out what i was after tho. I've never sprayed anything before and just wanna know if halfords paint will be ok for a grille. And weather i'd need to prime it.

    LOL ... I meant in this thread!

    Rub it down lightly with about 400 wet n dry to take the shine off
    the surface.
    Give it a 2 or 3 coats of primer then when its dry lightly smooth
    the surface with some fine wet n dry.
    give it several coats of the base (colour) building it up with light
    even coats... give it 10 mins between each coat and then give it
    a couple of coats of laquer (dont rub the base coat down first)
    Leave it about a week to fully harden then polish with some
    cutting compound followed by a good wax.

    Just take your time with it is the best advise
