I have the stock plastic chrome looking grill shell and i want to paint it black also to match all the black parts and rims on my truck. I dont wanna pay a body shop to do it though. Has anyone done this on their own. and if so what was the process/ what kind of paint did you use?

Hello,
I bought a paintable shell off of eBay and had a local shop paint mine. Also had the ram hole filled. I was told the chrome cowl couldn't be painted.

It can be painted, you just have to put the time into prep work.
