RE: Painting Grill Pony
I bought gloss black paint that was in a spray can and was made for painting parts of your engine. If its good enough for the engine its good enough for a chrome pony. My 1st time around i did it gloss black and no clearcoat (stupid move). I then redid it several months later and layed that clear coat nice, and its been great for months now, no chipping or flaking just like the day I did it. I did not remove the grill I just masked off and painted away, of course I layed t-shirts on the car to protect from overspray.

Carefully cleaned the pony with alcohol, brushed on the paint. It looks good after more than six months.
