Were you able to paint your grill or did you buy a new one?

What kind of paint did you use on it that would stick and how did you prep it?

Well I sanded it with a red scotch brite pad,400,800,1000 grit and then Dawn soap, degreaser and mold releaser, alcohol, then a filler primer w two coats, then a polyurethane match paint w two coats (a good wet second) and I sprayed the first light clear (polyurethane) wet, then two heavy clears and then a medium clear

I did mine twice with rattlecans but spent more money doing and redoing than it cost to go get a HVLP gun and just spray good paint on

What is the deal with the Throttle Body spacer???

Truck looks good, but murdered is the way to go.

your truck is damn close to being blacked out, you can get your bumpers powdercoated for not too much, and paint your grille yourself....debadge your truck and tint the windows and its done
