Best coating for hard black plastic
Have researched for best product to coat black plastic.
Plan on coating some grill inserts for my 2001 grand prix.
They are all cleaned and lots of honey comb cells to treat.
I have :
GTechniq Trim Sealant
Optimum Gloss Coat
Opti-seal
Many pollymer and spray on waxes.
I'm thinking a spray would be easiest buy looking for suggestions.

You may want to look at CarPro CQuartz DLUX.
Regardless of product, some skill will be involved when working with honey-comb grill unless you can airbrush the coating in.

I have no experience with it, just what I've read and seen around.
But, I think the best option, if they are in good condition, would be to "spray on" a coat of Gloss Coat if you could.
Next, maybe that really durable spray on glossy coating that Meg's has. I can't remember which one it is, but if they are out of the vehicle, it may be a good option.

I would spray Gloss Coat but that would use alot of product(like 1 syringe at 90.00).

Ask Yvan Lacroix or Dann Williams (Optimum reps) about cutting it with Xylene to spray.

Hehe...Sir, title of the thread said best, not most cost effective.
C4 sounds like it would be good.
Eldo, that's the one I was thinking of.
Overspray a problem with that product?

Thanks to it having an adjustable sprayer, overspray is never a problem.

You could go the "find what you like and use it often" route with one of the spray waxes/sealants too if they look good.
I always liked Wax as U Dry Quik Wax on grills and front ends. It darkens some plastics a little and is nice to use.

Also you might look into the Ultima Trim Guard Plus.
But if it's just a regular painted surface, any of your sealants will work great.
