Short answer, yes. Long answer, no.

You'll want to find a durable, outdoor or better yetautomotive paint. Then you'll want to makesure to prep the area sanding it with a 500 or so grit sand paper to ensure a good stick.

You don't need to find a high heat paint, I don't think.

i did mine with the plasti-dip a few months ago and it still looks like a million bucks. only do 3 coats because any more than that will be hard to clip back on to the grill.

many people on www.audizine.com have used plasti dip with great success, seems (as with anything else) good prep is essential to making it stick

good prep is key. i use SEM trim black for a flat black. Napa also sells a black trim paint that I used with great success, it self leveled itself. i used a heat gun lightly over it to dry quickly. I did this on my lincoln and it is still good after 2 years.
