Put the new color matched grill on this morning

[jeff816]

So,I am looking to color match my front and rear bumpers along with the grille. I plasti-dipped them about six months ago and they are starting to show wear. It's not bad for less than $30, but it's starting to look like a $30 job. If nothing else it confirmed that I want to lose the chrome. How are you guys color matching your trucks? Are you doing it your self? Taking it to a shop? If so, are you removing the parts or taking in the whole truck? How much did it cost?What does everyone think about vinyl wrap? My truck is black, so it's a little easier to match. I think that's enough questions for now. Thanks in advance!

I had my bumpers powder coated for $100 each. I took the bumpers off, then took them in, had them back two days later.

I've been looking all over this forum and the internet in general but have yet to find any examples of the new Silverado with the headlight trim painted but the grille left chrome. In my imagination that is the best look for these trucks since it would break up the complete horizontal band of chrome on the front end without having to flood the whole thing with body-color. I did manage to find this one solitary (and small) photo shop somebody did of a similar idea but none that are actual photographs so I'm hoping somebody who reads this might be able to refer me to some pics or consider photoshopping a few different colors of Silverado with this concept in mind...

To the ones basically saying that chrome is ghetto seem to be close minded. It's one thing to not like chrome, but then to say it's ghetto are stuck in a box. Of course too much chrome or a bunch of chrome plastic pieces from the parts store is ghetto and/or tacky. I remember when I got my 98 I was only 19 and I was in a chrome phase. But then I got out of it so when I got rid of that and got this truck I planned on blacking it out completely. Then I saw how good chrome looks on black so I'm rethinking that. I don't mind some chrome, but can be too much. I will probably have the bumpers black and leave everything else chrome. So only the grille, headlight bezel, badges and tailgate emblem trim will be chrome. I don't think I'd just paint the bumpers black. I want to see about having them black chrome so it's black but still has the chrome look. I've seen it on Harleys so why not a black truck lol.

Look up the Carolina Blackout edition. It's not worth the extra $5,500, but one of the things they do is black out the grille and leave the headlights chrome.

Yeah, that's not bad; similar to the Rally edition but I find it completely backward. Where I think the headlight trim would look good painted with a chrome grille, they painted the grille and left the headlight trim chrome... To each their own of course, and I doubt they'd build packages this way without some feedback and approval but just seems that the opposite scheme would look best.

Looks awesome but not quite what I'm after. Exactly the same as that but with the grille left chrome, basically... I should say, with the grille and its frame all left chrome.

Sorry, I'm not seeing any pics in your post. Do I have something set up wrong maybe? Very new to the forum...

I could probably photoshop you something up, what color you looking for? post a pic of a generic truck style you like and I can colormatch the headlight housings etc

 

here is a quick chop from a google image pic

Awesome, thanks. Any chance of making the bumper black in this pic as well?
