Default Bedline or Acrylic Enamel Paint the Grill?

Sorry if this belongs in the stock threads, a few grill and paint ones popped up in modified when I searched.

For those that have painted their grills with duplicolor bedliner or a similar spray on would you do it again? or given the option would you use a flat black enamel spray paint?

I just got my rims on yesterday and I'm itchin to do some more changes.
Thanks

I did the duplicolor bedliner about a month ago. Honestly - I didn't like it at first. It took a couple of weeks for it to turn the same color as the fenders. Now it matches much better, and I like it. I would do it again - no regrets.

Duplicolor bed-liner. I would do mine again, I touch up mine every so often. Just a light sandpaper rub and spray simple and easy!

Allright I think everyone has sold me on the duplicolor. My girlfriend pointed out the black won't match my gloss shrockworks bumper, but when they're all dirty it won't really matter

I love the duplicolor stuff. Made my grill match my rr bumper/stinger perfectly. Still havd some more pieces to do... Hinges, etc. Showed the jeep to my father in law Thursday and he is going to paint the grill of his yj now too. I'm also using it on the frame and bumpers of my deuce and a half that is getting under way this week.

Hell that looks great! Any chance you'd fire up a product number to the paint you used? Maybe also what kind of prep work? grit # of sand paper, # coats, etc?

Came out nice...I wasn't a fan, so I just bought a black grill off someone and swapped it out in 10 minutes...
