probably metallic paint would be the best. Check wal-mart or home depot for paint. You could ask the guy at HD what he suggests.

Ive tried auto paint and high temp engine paint and rocks still chip it off. Also tried every variation of primers, adhesive promoters, clear coats, even tried not to tailgate or follow trucks and still cant keep it from chipping. Oh well just gotta do a quick touch up spray every month or so.

You can buy grille mesh for cheap at like AutoZone, or any auto parts store probly, they have them in lots of different colors. Why not just do that?
