I like this option.. I'm thinking this:

https://www.expresspaint.com/automot...dProduct=21727

AND this:

https://www.truevalue.com/fast-dry-p...ck-gloss-15-oz

Should work well. I've used expresspaint.com for firecracker red Jeep parts and it was a great match. (There's a clearcoat that I didn't link, which I already have). Prep with superfine sandpaper, apply color, finish with clearcoat.
Unless you're a professional automotive painter I don't see the result looking good. Please post pictures if you go this route, I'm curious to see how it turns out. I have a co-worker who used to professionally paint cars for 15 years so if I got the proper paint I know he could do an excellent job. I might try some things on my OEM chrome grill since I have no use for it anymore
