What paint to use for BRZ front grille?
Hello guys. So I recently bought a used BRZ bumper with a small scuff/scratch on the black grille/plastic area. Had I known that the grille itself cannot be replaced, I definitely wouldn't have bought the bumper. Noob mistake
 The only thing that comes to mind is to try coating it with something, maybe a paint or a stain? If anyone has painted that area or has any suggestions please chime in! Thanks

Since it's the black bit, would it be too weird to take it to a bed liner place and let them mask it and shoot it? I bet it'd be tough as nails then...
Or maybe a Subaru touch-up marker, followed by a 3M clear bra? I'm always disappointed by my own efforts to achieve a "wet edge" with rattle-cans. The only rattle cans I'm ever happy with are the extremely textured ones, but I wouldn't do that to the front of a car, as it would never stay clean.
