Taking the grill guard off my old ram and putting it on my new one. It needs to be repainted, i want to do it black. The paint i used last time wasnt vary durable and scratched easily. Any suggestions on a druable tough paint to use.

Maybe use some of the spray on black bedliner?? Won't scratch too easy and will be black.

That might be a good idea, how smooth to you think that would be though? spray bedliners tend to be rough..

Thank you for the welcoming

Well I used duplicolor's version on my tailgate and it really isn't textured like a roll on. It is more of a coating than an actual bedliner.

If you're still open to ideas, powder coating, especially black isn't that expensive, and will last much longer than paint. However, the bed liner material will last even longer!
