List,
 
Happy 2011.  Working on my TR6 if it ever warms up.
 
One owner 72 TR6.  I worked on a front grill restoration, the original one had 
plastic wrapped on the lower valance (which I have heard from other owners they 
have seen).
 
I removed the entire grill, replaced the valance with one from TRF, painted the 
grill, and put it all back together.  It turned out great.
 
Two years later, the point at the front of the valance has the paint off and 
rust showing.  So, I purchased another valance from TRF and am looking for some 
advice.
 
What would be the best way to prevent this from happening again.  My thoughts:
1.)  Paint the whole thing with Rustoleum
2.)  Paint the whole thing with a matte finish clear coat
 
Any input on this would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
