silverado777 Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I was thinking about getting my grille inserts powder coated black and and the chrome color matched. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you guys think? I know the pic doesn't show it since it's an old pic but I do have a black billet bow tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselarmy13 Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Do it. Hand's down it will look better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverado777 Posted December 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Do it. Hand's down it will look better My only concern is that I have bolt over inserts. I will either have to paint the factory plastics behind the grill inserts or some how cut the plastic around the mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachm89 Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Painting the factory mesh grille shouldn't be a problem. Just lightly sand them down and give them a couple of coats of krylon paint and you should be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverado777 Posted December 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Sounds good. So I'm going to send my inserts off tomorrow to be powder coated which should give me enough time to paint my factory plastic grill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hankg42 Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) When I painted the factory mesh grille before mounting the black billet grilles, I used flat black paint. I figured it would show less that way. I was happy how it turned out. Edited December 28, 2010 by Hankg42 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bag Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) Well thanks, I'd rather have silver birch though, post some pics after ur done. Also, might wanna paint your lower bumper valence black, that'll really tie it all in EDIT: maybe not, on a silver truck it flows pretty well, have fun!
