I used it and it looks pretty good. http://www.filmtools.com/krdual1grsho.html Try it and let me know what you think..

It's on ebay but if you plan to buy it you better get out your BIG wallet. As far as anyone selling a good match, since NONE are an exact match opinions will vary on that one. A few of the better grille restoration guys have thier own formulas that are good enough to get pass OE judges, but most won't sell the paint, just the service (self included). Roger Gibson sells a respectable mix, you might try him. If you want something on the cheap the best bet is to go to a place like Ace Hardware, buy cans of all colors they sell and do a bit of experimenting. I went this route with the GTX and couldn't be much happier with how it turned out. Don't take my word for it, spend the $5 and try it for yourself
