Spray Painted my grill How do I protect it
I made a three bar grille but i knicked it up doing it so I decided to paint it I sanded it up pretty good and rough then I gave it coats of primer then 2 coats of flat black paint then 2 coats of red paint on the bowtie and 4 coats of clear coat for protection but since its the grille i know it can take a beating is there anything else I can do to protect it from chipping and stuff like that?

There is a REALLY SPECIAL clear coat that is available. But is is quite expensive in the rattle can. I've seen tests done with this stuff, using a nickle and steel wool, in an attempt to scratch it. Barely even marks the surface. If I can locate the info, I'll post it (I do remember it comes from a company in the LA area). It was around $30-40/can.

Is it by the same people that make killer chrome?
