I've heard negative about the quality of Totally Auto's stuff but it's been years. I know it's PPG, but do we really need that??? I’m listening.

It tends to stay on the grille better. As for the silver, why not try any kind of wheel paint ??? There must be something at your local hardware store or automotive paint store ??? I was not looking for NOS stuff, and found things that work. And unless you tell someone, they will never know !! Good luck . . Cheers Mark
