I will just leave this here

In my never ending quest to make grills great again, and desire to try new things and tinker I decided to try painting a horrible looking, and deeply stained plastic end cap. I think it turned out great, and the color may just be a dead nuts match. Rustoleum 2X - in Granite w/ Satin finish.

Once it’s fully dry I’m tempted to try and scratch it up to see if it sticks well. I didn’t use the normal adhesion promoter that I use. I have one other that is junk that I’m thinking I’ll try it on and compare the two.

I vote for giving your paint job a good long cure time. No paint will last forever, but I think it is an acceptable way to breathe new life in badly faded parts, especially if you are painting back to the original color.
 
Agreed on it lasting forever! I wanted to see what I could make them look like with a $5 can before investigating into the longer lasting automotive paint lines. I am going to leave it out in a sunny area just to see how it looks after a few weeks.

If one were to build a museum piece that they have zero intention on using, I think this route would be the ticket.

However on my keeper SS, it may end up getting painted ends, because if they look bad in a few years its not terribly difficult to freshen in up.
 
With all the fabricating I see some of you guys doing (Jon et al) :D And Hazard Fraught selling plasma cutters relatively inexpensively I'm amazed someone hasn't jumped on one. Jon a cutter would knock out that project of your deflector and many others quite easily I would think
