So one day, my radiator just started to leak the hot fluid from itself and it "threw up" on my grill. Here's a pic of how my grill got discolored.





I was wondering, what kind of paint should I used to repaint it?


and also, my rims, the front ones are disgusting! this is how i got them from the previous owner,





those both shots are of the same rim, but both my front rims are like that.
Im not sure what that is on there, i was thinking maybe its some kind of oil that was leaked on them and they never wiped it off and just let it dry up on there.
I've tried to take it off by washing them with car wash soap, but that didnt seem to work. So that is why I come here, to the H-T community for help.

 

degreaser is your friend (spray 9, simple green, etc etc)

 

yeah, that's what i was thinking of getting a hold of.


do you know what paint to use on the grill?

 

try peanut butter on the wheels
and
for the front grille look up the paint code and head to an auto store to see if they sell that type of paint, if not, you can either find a silver that some what matches your car...or go to walmart and hope the $1 silver spray paint matches ( i pick walmart all the time haha)

 

peanut butter?

well, the thing is, i dont want to match the paint on my car, i just want to paint it back to the black that it is, but im not sure what black it is.
im thinking some kind of flat black?

 

black trim paint

 

or go to walmart and get krylon plastic flat black paint

 

depending on what kind of paint is on those wheels, some degreasers and cleaners will take it right off. so you might want to be careful with that. o and not really on the same topic, never put simple green on white wheels i did it and turned them yellow!!

 

since you dont wanna paint match just head to walmart and get the $1 flat black spray paint

yeap peanut buter

spread evenly and then wash/wipe off

peanut butter does not remove grease and brake dust, its just for gloss.

for that stuck on stuff you will need degreaser.
