   I need to spray my grille and want it to look original so was going to buy some black bumper paint. Anyone used it before? How did it turn out?
   
   I'll be spraying it myself so not sure if it'll look good.

   Yeah but I don't have the facilities or equipment to spray properly myself. Thinking I may go gloss balck but dont know. Anyone got pics of Wicked Red Saxos with different style bumpstrips to help make up my mind?
