painting the grill: i took them off the bus, scrubed them with dish soap (to remove any oils, and bugs). Then i masked off the VW emblem and the foot of the mirrors and spray painted them. I used black semi-gloss. About 5 or 6 coats. i used one can for all of the items. Front and back- mostly front. The paint was some name brand that i got at the local hardware store. They have been this way for 3 years and look really good. Cheers matthew
