i had mine done in a body shop when they painted my hood, the added cost was only 50 bucks. WELL worth the small amount of cash for the huge headache...looks ok but you said you had 25 bucks into it. I would have sent it to a shop for it. Nominal fee for it IMO

If looks are a concern, you should start with cleaning those rims. A real cheap and easy mod

I had them nice and clean, but I got new brakes two weeks ago so all the brake dust is on them. I will clean them the next time I wash my truck, which should be soon because it's nasty.

Just to do the grill a paint/body shop would have charged minimum $150. You got a deal because they already had the paint for the hood....

not meaning to thread jack, but do you have pics yet?





And, I like the look of your painted grill. If you take that bug deflector off, or paint it too. And that bumper and it will look really sweet.

I put the bug shield on there to cover up a dent from where my girlfriend backed into my truck. I had to replace everything except the hood. I didn't like it at first, but I have grown to like it over time. I don't think I am going to paint the black on the bumber because it won't be smooth like the ones on the nicer trucks. I may try to find a painted one on ebay, and then just paint it my color.
