I believe it was rustoleum titanium silver.

It was part of their metallic series. Also I used a clear enamel and it covered most of the metallic flakes. And no adehisive promoter just clean real good with alcohol

found this post. judging by the ISS grille being very close to the brake duct color, as is this, i think ill have to pick up some of this paint :thumbsup:

I created a thread earlier last week asking if anyone knew the color to
the grey on the bottom of the bumper so that I could paint the BowTie to
match. Unfortunately there is no color code for it. Went to Lowes and
found a pretty damn good match.

 

Rust-Oleum - High Heat Ultra. Silver Metallica color.

 

This
color is damn near exact to the grey, but it does have some metallic in
it. Cannot tell a big difference unless you really study both the
bumper vents and the bowtie.

 

Once it dried i put a clear coat on it.

 

Rust-Oleum - Acrylic Enamel. Gloss. Crystal Clear.

 

 

IMO it looks very good and way better then the black i had on the bowtie. Gives the front more of a pop.

Picked up these after work. Didn't have the Rust-o acrylic clear so I got flat valspar clear.

Also didn't have any adhesive promoter. There was plastic primer, but wasn't sure about it. I sprayed a piece of cardboard to get an idea of how the spray/clear will look. Currently drying

Sample done. 2 shitty coats of silver with one coat of clear. The color itself looks good but not sure if i like the shine to it. Although when it's on the tiny pieces of grille rather than flat square I doubt you'll be able to tell :shrug:

How do the brake duct inserts come out? There's 4 plastic pins but there solid, and not little lift tabs

Edit. Guess I'll need to tape around the grille shell since those inserts don't come out either. The lower bumper one looks like it comes out by itself right?
