I have a 2011 Ram with PXR paint and bought a sport hood today from a 2012 with PX8 paint code...would it be a noticeable diff if i put it on? PXR seems to have a sparkle to it

Yes, a big difference especially in sunlight. I had a 14 PX8 and now a 15 PXR. PXR has a good bit of sparkle to it.

Huge difference. You might be able to get away with it at night time with no direct light hitting it LOL

Px8 is just a straight black

I know nothing about these paints, for all I know they could have been trans codes lol.

Anyway I wanted to ask on here what a good quality great looking finish long lasting paint I can buy to DIY paint my grill. I have already "tested" the look with plasti dip and like it and want to paint now. Plasti dip is flat black but I want to do something that is at least a semi gloss and could go for full gloss. I just got OEM black quad headlights which have gloss black painted inside so perhaps something to match that.

So whats the consensus paint heads? I could see the paint on the right in the pic up top working...

I actually just ordered some color match spray paint from this place to paint my grille.
