Hi there guys
My polo's front bottom grille has these white spots that i cannot clean off almost as if the plastic has changed colour was wondering if anyone can tell me what paint i can use on this plastic that will make it look good and also looking to do the same to the rear plastic bits, i saw some people say they have sprayed these with a gloss but not sure how to go about it, also would i be able to use this specific paint on my badge as well?

Re: Polo grill painting
Howzit bud.
Pic isn't showing. I painted my grills on my Polo using Rust-Oleum gloss black. They have held up perfectly well for the time they were on my car. Gave it about 5 coats or so after a good clean.

Re: Polo grill painting
Is there any preparation i would need to do like primer or sanding, or will it just stick as is

Re: Polo grill painting
I just made sure the grill was properly cleaned out before I painted. Washed it with some sunlight and left it to dry off properly. The Rust-Oleum has no need for primer.

Re: Polo grill painting
Thanks for sharing. I'm keen on doing the same including the bumper grills to match
