   hi i will be the owner of a vtr as from tmoz or tuesday....just a quick question as im new to all this exterior styling and upgrading.
   
   I was reading a thread about spraying the grill to colour match it with the car. I presume the grill is made of the same plastic as the trims surrounding the car? If so, is it this "laquer" people keep talking about that gives it the finnished glossy look? to make it look metal like the rest of the car?????
   
   thanks.

   Yes it will need laquer to give it shine and to protect the paint underneath.
   
   Personally id give it to a body shop to paint, should only be about 50 quid and the finish will be much better than DIY.
