hhr grille paint peeling
 

I painted my grille and the paint is not sticking. Could someone tell me the right steps. Thank you

Your grill has chrome? Have you sand it before paint? There´s is humidity? I would follow these steps:

- Sand the chrome/finish of the grill with 600 grit sand paper.
- Apply one or two primer coats.
- Apply two or three layers of paint (thin layers).
- Then, finish with the clearcoat.

we didnt sand it down first. Should i go ahead and sand it all the way down or just sand some of the black off? thanks

good prepping is the answer:twothumbs:

I painted my chrome without sanding but used a high quality etching primer first. Sticking great.

Rust-oleum has a great self etching primer.. I used it for my bowties and its holding tight!

Dupicolor adhesion promotor,works great

Actually even using Rustoleum paint (with proper prep) works very well..:thumb:

thanks for all the great tips

Don't sand it "all the way down". Its only plastic. Just scuff it really good with a 400 grit scuff block. Primer. Paint. Clear. Clear. Clear. Clear. Clear. Clear. Clear. Clear. Clear. Clear. Clear.
