do I need any special primer for color matching my grill?

[sfsc]

I know the purpose of a "rubberized" primer is so that it can flex without cracking. is it really needed on the grill (of a 99 NBS)?

Can I just scruff it up, slap some primer on it, slap some paint on it, clear it, wetsand if I want/need to, and be done?

I figure I should be fine the last way. It's hard plastic and doesn't really flex to require a rubberized undercoat ... but I dunno :read:

You don't need flexible primer/paint stuff for the grill. Your second method is exactly how I would do it.

I second that, your grille does not move like a bumper does.
