I'm looking to paint the grill inserts on my 03' Sunfire to match the car. What kind of paint should i use?

are you trying to rattle can, or are you going spray gun, and auto paint?

Rattle Can, would the duplicolor spray paint thats the same color as my car be good enough?

Well, the difference in the job is going to be in the prep work.

I would make sure to scuff up the plastic very good, and hit it with a primer made for plastic.....perhaps krylon fusion, then hit it with the duplicolor color match stuff.

Sounds good, thanks for the suggestion.

I just did mine the other day. I scuffed with 600 wet, cleaned with alcohol, shot some Sherwin Williams plastic primer and then duplicolor truck, van & suv paint followed by their acrylic lacquer clear I believe it was. All out of a rattle can.
