[Healeys] BJ8 Grill Surround Sliver-Grey Paint ?

[Jean Caron]

Jim,

The Concours Guide, at least the one I have, indicates that the the paint should be a a light flat grey dull silver band of paint. I guess it gives you some latitude there. What I use is a Quartz Silver which is a Honda colour, code NH94M. I live in Canada and obtain same at Canadian Tire Stores.

I prep the area to be painted first by masking all the rest of the grille surround, then I use a 3M red Scratch Pad to dull the chrome finish, wash it with metal prep and then apply a light coat of grey primer followed by two light coats of the Honda paint. There are a couple of grilles I have done about 5-6 years ago and the paint still stands. I also use the same colour on the back side of the bumpers and overriders.

I've tried 5 different paints and none of them "stick" to the chrome even with "etching" paint. I'm very interested in your answers.I gave up and learned to like the reflective chrome.

Hello All,



I just purchased a new grill surround for my BJ8.

I'm looking for a recommendations for a supplier of the "correct and concourse approved"  SILVER-FLAT GREY paint to finish the inner lip of the grill.

I searched the MOSS catalog but was unable to find the previously recommended flat silver paint used on the wire wheels.



Thanks for your help.

Jim
