Best grill paint?

[ebg18t]

So my silver grill looks awful, I am looking to paint it (Not plastidip). What are you guys recommending for matte or semi matte paint for exterior plastic? Or should I go with the textured (ie hammered) finish? The search yeilds mostly plastidip grills which I don't want. Open to suggestions?

On my last vehicle I had good luck with duplicolor bed armor, they also make a grill paint that is textured. Remember when picking paint for this that soft is better because it wont chip when struck with rocks.

When I color matched mine I went over the surface with sandpaper (500-1000 I think) and put down some textured primer and went over that with Duplicolor Perfect Match Natural White. I put down probably 6-7 coats and wetsanded in between and did a lot of polishing on the final coat and it came out really good. I've had it for probably 8 months now and its still looking new. there are a couple tiny knicks from road debris but I'm really happy with the way it turned out.

No clear coat?

Toyota Natural White has no clear coat from the factory, so to make the grill match no need for a clear.

Rhino liner. Its chip resistant.
