This is what happened after I washed my truck

 

Im going to assume the grill? Mine has 2 marks from rock impacts and thats it. I also take it through a High Pressure Touchless Car Waste every now and then.

 

thats what happened to uelands. cheap chinese crap. on a positive note, now you can work on your old grill (if you still have it)...gutter guard, body color, etc....the possibilities are endless!

 

*confused*

Don't waste money WASHING your truck?

Don't waste money PAINTING your grille with a rattle can?

Don't waste money BUYING a particular make/model aftermarket grille?

What's the moral of this story?

 

The grill I got it from carid.com and it chips way to easy and now the paint is coming off

 

Contextless threads allow you to draw your own conclusion.

 

Thats why I kept my stocker, Hate that its chrome tho.

I bought my grill like his off Ebay, No problems yet. and my chips (where hit by rocks, cause the plastic is dented where it hit) has not chipped any farther/worse.

 

plasti dip it.

 

I would do that but the plasti dip on my antenna is starting to come off from rubbing on tree limbs. I was thinking about useing the bed liner stuff you can get from auto parts stores, or see about getting my stock chrome one panited to match the truck.

 

If you werent in AK, I would offer you my black OEM grille that is factory painted. I got it off ebay brand new but I dont think it will ever make it on my truck unfortunatly. If you watch ebay, the painted ones do show up every now and again. I was really hoping for a red one, but I jumped on the black one immediatly.
