    Altis Grill Painting

    Hey. I just recently ordered an altis grill for my Lunar Mist 03 Corolla but I was wondering how I should paint my grill or if I need to paint it at all. Most of the people I've seen with the grill have it painted but I don't know where to get the paint from and how to apply the paint without getting it everywhere. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

    Bump for this...

    I know I can't afford the Lexus style one right now and the missing emblem is pissing me off. :twisted:

    I'm guessing for this paint DIY, prime it first (may not need it, I'm no expert in painting), paint it, clear coat it?

    Some questions, can I get the color coded paint from let's say a home depot or would I have to get that from an auto paint shop. Also how much would that be and how many coats? Also how may clear coats as well? TIA.
