Is that a flat black of just a regular black ?

 

Just the regular black, it does look pretty flat though without the clear coat.

 

cool....looks like I found me a good weekend project once i get moved....thanks for the info....

looking forword to seeing the finished product..

 

Put it on earlier didnt like how flat it was... so i repainted it and used some more clear coat. Dont recommend the krylon clear coat it sprayed like a white dust that stayed there even when dried so i reapplied a regular clear coat enamel.

anyways heres what it looked like on the truck





and now im re clear coating it and letting it dry again...

 

yeah.. i tried painted my grille and it came out real flat too... i just went back to the chrome.

 

ya, it wasnt so much the flatness as how much white dust came out of the clear coat can, maybe they had it in the back and they just through it on the shelf or something haha, either way its much more shiny now so i may just let it dry for a day or two.

 

yea the new clear looks much better IMO

 

i hope it looks just as good on! you can see in that second pic of the grille on my truck, all the lighter spots are from dust that came out of the krylon fusion clear coat spray can. Pisses me off, waste of 5 bucks haha. oh ya and a day of waiting for paint to dry, now i have to drive around with no grille.

 

hurray its on!

 

It still looks off compared to the rest of the truck but its a much better improvement over your first attempt.
