Honeycomb Grills

I have been using Stoners spray trim product on my honeycomb grill with less than great results.

I was wondering if anyone has ever put a thin layer of clear spray paint on their black grill before?
 
Try Adam's In and Out spray, it gives a look very close to VRT (matte and new looking) and is very easy to use. It is along the same lines as trim shine, but it's more durable and it looks less shiny. Watch the overspray and don't use too much and you'll be very happy with it.
 
What I do (I also have a honeycomb grille), is LIBERALLY dress the plastic with good 'ol Armour All...
More specifically, before I wash or detail my car, I just CAKE the area with spray, and make sure I have covered all areas using a old paint brush...
Then I LEAVE it on there for maybe an hour (in the shade)...
Then lightly wipe the plastic with a cloth (and any overspray on the paint), then proceed to wash/detail the car...this way, you don't end up with that unnatural, super-shiny plasticy look...
I prefer this method because a) it's easier, and the results are usually better
and b) after washing the whole car, I don't have to worry about getting any plastic protectant on the cars finish (maybe it's just me, but I can NEVER get that stuff on perfectly without overspray and/or wipe marks on the paint)
 
I put 3 coats of clear spray on my grill and it looks great. Even better when I get the bugs off. It might where out over a little time but it wont take that long to do again. So far its been 4 months and still looks like I did it yesterday. If you decide to do it, make sure you prep it real well and use quality spray.
 
Whoa, forgot i posted this, duh...

thanks for the info guys.

I was wondering if i should get the honeycomb part painted gloss black?

It kills me to detail that thing....
