    Dupli Color Color Match FTW, if you don't have any paint sitting around.

    I used Krylon fusion on plastic that's what they make it for I used it on my pc too

    And I used the rustoleum auto plastic black paint

    I've never tried the duplicolor I'll have to try some

    I mean if you're color matching something it's the easiest route there is. DupliColor makes quality paint as well, but if you're painting something that's not PTM then Krylon or Rust O Leum is damn good paint for the money. :waytogo:

    I just scuffed mine with a scotch brite pad also and sprayed it with DSG Duplicolor color match when I did my grill.

    I didn't clear mine and it stayed clean and held up well. I only had a few hours when I painted it so there was no time to clear, and I wasn't going to go driving around without a grill.
