i sprayed my grill kind of heavy so i went through almost 1 can of color paint and a couple sprays of clear coat. for the grill i say 3 cans. but better to have more to be safe, you can always use it to paint something else

it matches pretty good. couldn't really tell the difference except the color on my grill looks a bit newer than the body. it looks like paint mixed to match the factory color put in aerosol can. i will get a pic up of the grill when i get home later

Basbal, you painted your front end using the aerosol cans? or their bucket paint?

well i have only sprayed cars myself but i no longer have a garage to do it in. So in order to repaint my front lip here soon so i am looking for options. I cant really tell from a pic but up close im sure there is a bit of difference but then again i worked in a body shop.
