Re: [DML] painting louver



Walt, I agree and disagree. I have painted two of them and I cleaned 
the armorall off with soap and water and fantastic. I used 200 grit 
wet sand paper to get out small blemishes. Lightly sand. Then when I 
sprayed, I stood back as far as I could to get the paint on. and it 
also added the little rough finish to them like the original. The 
1200 degree grill I would think would do good, I just happened to use 
bumper black paint. They don't look hand painted.
