Sounds like it will be sweet, I am at the point too to paint my truck again, I couldn't afford a air compressor so I used rattle cans, then I thought they were to expensive and used the cheap stuff. Worst mistake ever, I will be regretting using them when I have to sand it down again. Made the truck look horrible.

Sorry Weisel I believe I already beat you to that one around our province.
FYI for painting that chrome grill, you will want to remove ALL of the chrome, to the point of showing grey plastic. It might look like you are taking to much off but is totally worth it. small little rocks will chip the hell out of your grill that you wouldn't believe. I would throw extra coats of clear on the grill for safe measure. I failed to do it, and it looks horrible.
