Thanks for all the response. It looks like the best way is to just mask and shoot on the truck which is what I will do as soon as weather permits. I will post photos when finished.

It is easy to remove the Headlamp assy's, then mask off the headlight,sand, spray with "Adhesion Promotor", prime,
base coat, and then Clear Coat.
I found it easier to remove the grille also, remove the grille insert, use a hair dryer, (from the inside) to remove the
Rams Head and do the same as the headlamps.

PS... Welcome aboard and there is a lot of help here.
