Default A bit of DIY Spraying

hi all,

i want to paint some of the plastic chrome crap surrounding my front grill and spray the grills on my bonnet.

I guess I have to get a 5hite load of masking tape, some primer and some black paint. Since its grills and some plastic I want to cover in black, Id like to get a black as close as I can to my paint rather than any old black (or will that do?). Do Halfrauds do paint mixing by any chance or if I supply my paint code, they could get a close match?

Any tips on doing this at all?

Fanks

try bitec in telford i use these for supplies good prices and good advice if needed, jawels are ok if you buy off of them direct from ebay, the local shops seem to have there own pricing depending on what mood they are in.
