Default Is it possible to get a red grille?

I've decided that I want a body-color grille for my truck. The one on there is chrome color now.

Are they available prepainted from dodge or must I order the paint?

I'm hoping they can be gotten pre-painted , but the dealer can't tell me for sure.

Why not just strip the chrome off the one you have now, and paint that one???

A red painted grille goes for 385 dollars from the dealer...

I think you can get one prepainted. I think I remember seeing it in the parts catalog I have.

Thanks, I painted the center part myself, and relocated the Dodge emblem to the top of the grille...

The relocation process took forever...

Mainly due to sanding all the old paint off, anf fiberglassing and bondoing the dang thing...
