Painting the front license plate bracket....

Guys,

I plan to paint the front license plate bracket so that it matches the color of the car. I want to know how to go about picking the right paint color, type as well as the process of painting this kind of plastic.

Has anyone done this before?

Thanks,

They give you a small container of touch up paint with your car so you should be able to get the color from a paint shop or you could order it from Infiniti. I haven't done this so I don't know how it would look.

I would just do it myself using the closest matching spray paint color and a clear coat. To use the exact same paint would probably cost u an arm and a leg. But that's just me.

No license plates on th front of my G s I won't have this problem.

Well, I guess I can spare an arm and a leg .... lol

Shouldn't the paint be of a certain type (to stick to plastic)?
