cerbomark Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 I know someone painted the grill black but I can t find the topic. Did anyone paint the grill black? Did it hold up (any chipping)? What kind of paint? Photos would be good too along with any helpful information. Havent found a grill I m sure I like but I don t think grey is right color for our trucks. Thanks.

Big O Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Here is what kind of difference to expect ... I painted the main grill black and left the valence grill gray for comparision (and I have a powder coated black replacement grill for the valence) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerbomark Posted March 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Big O , did you use regular plastic paint? Just clean and paint? Looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMBRWLF1997 Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 yes sir ... I think it was Krylon Fusion paint but I'm not sure ... I got it at Walmart <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I did the front of mine with the Krylon Fusion Paint as well. Just make sure you have plenty of tape to tape off everything you don't want to paint. Krylon has a lot of overspray to it, but it works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haynss Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 I was wondering how that would looked on my truck. Right now I have my lights smoked(BLACK) and it looks nice, but that gray just seems to stick out a little. Wonder if all black would look too black or not.....
