Morning All,

As the title suggests, I would like to refurb the lower mesh grill of my Vantage. Alas I don’t have access to a jack (to lower the front under tray) so have to paint in situ. 
The question is will spraying the grill cause an adverse effect (thinking about the cooling) on the radiator behind as inevitably there will collect the over spray?

Thanks in advance

Hi

I did my DB9 when I had the front bumper off to change the transmission cooler.

I used black hammerite.

There is an oil cooler for the Power steering and gearbox just behind it (at least there is on a DB9). Prob not such a good idea to overspray although the actual cooler is itself aluminium sprayed black..

Can't get the grille out without taking off the bumper I think.
