Question Painting 442 Grille

Hey folks!

I do not have a 442, but I hated the Supreme grille I had on the car. I saved it as it was original, but I do not want to use the OEM 442 emblems as the car is not a 442. If ya'll are wondering why I got custom 434 badges on, that will be announced soon!

My question: what type of black paint would you use for the plastic areas where the mounts are located? I want to black them out to help cover-up the silver squares as best I can.

Thanks! I'll see if I can find a small paint brush style auto paint in flat black. Any preferences?

No idea. I just figured flat black would look dark and hide the mounting tabs.
