Not sure, probably what ever he had lying about..

A friend of mine went the same route and used rattle cans.

I Like that... Im twisted between gunmetal and black. Wheels are GM but I think black would look more menacing... So will any metal spray do? Just misting it with a few coats to cover?

I like black coolers but black colers look dirty very soon. It would of been exagerated even more on a black car. Not to mention showing stonechips quite badly too.

Thats an idea, black plastic mesh would look good.
Something like this:
High Quality Plastic Race mesh black 900 mm x 450 mm on eBay, also Grilles, Meshes Vents, Exterior Styling, Car Tuning Styling, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 18-Feb-09 10:58:12 GMT)
