Dave, I use Krylon simi flat and hold the spray pattern back further. That will create the surface with a little texture. John Hervey www.specialTauto.com << Hi, I am going to bring my louver into a body shop to have it painted this week. What type of paint should I have them paint it with? I have to use 5 bottles of tire shine just to keep it black right now;) I have found that most bumper paints just begin to fade after a few seasons of use. Has anyone used a paint that really works great? At Memphis I saw a louver with a lightly textured paint that really looked nice. Thanks Dave 6286- >>
