Here it is on the truck. I haven't wet sanded it yet so it is just hangin there, that's also why it looks darker than the truck. I'm gonna wet sand it after school today so I should have it done tonight. I'll post the final pictures tomorrow.

Looks pretty decent, good luck with it. My buddy did the same thing and it chipped like crazy. I hope yours holds out longer....

Yeah, you have to scotch pad the hell out of em first or it comes off. If you go crazy with the red pads you can get it to stick decent.

Got some pictures of the finished grill today. For some reason it didn't turn out very glossy. I took to the guy I know that owns a body shop, and he couldn't figure it out either. It looks good enough though. What do you think?

I was wanting to do that to mine truck. Did you use any kind of primer/sealer?

I want to do my truck and since its black, matching the color won't be as difficult.

What clearcoat did you use? It looks good though. You should take off the bug shield and paint the top part of the bumber too. And you CAN take off the chrome.
