   Hey,
   
   I set out last weekend to mesh my grille and i managed to do it rather well. I also painted my Chevrons with a black gloss spray paint, after leaving it 24hours to dry and harden i noticed that the paint could just scratch off! is there a good sealant that i could use to make it scratch resistant. I'm a newb at painting so any help would be much appreciated.

   mine did this aswell mate, its because the badges are chrome cover to start with, sand that all off so its just plaint plastic, do a couple of layers of body filler primar, then the top coat, then lacqure,
   
   Dont for get to flat down the primar
   
   and your doing it in a warm place arnt you ? as the paint wont bake on or dry right in the cold
