Do you know the style/name of the grill you have? the black/grey honeycomb looking part by the GMC symbol, the three rows

That is the all terrain grill. Occasionally if you get lucky you may find one on eBay in the color you want. Otherwise you can get them from your favorite GM parts supplier and it would have to be painted to match. I believe in the past GM sold them already painted but I think that is no longer the case.

I really want to color match my ABM truck, but I'm worried it'll cost a fortune. I dont know if a body shop can even match this color.

 

The bumpers the hard part, w/ts generally dont have foglights and used parts for 16s are kinda hard to source right now.

A few people on here have gotten their grille painted for a few hundred $, but you end up spending 2x that much just purchasing a new paintable grille (vs chrome). Body shops can match ANY color, if one tells you they can't then you should immediately leave.

 

Bumpers, because they are steel, seems that powder coating is the best option which I believe I saw some quotes for about $75 per bumper but powder coating does not match automotive paint codes (none around me anyway) so you just have to find the closest color which may be impossible if you have one of the very deep gloss metallic colors.

Does anyone know if the bumpers that come painted on the GM/GMC trucks are powered coated or painted?

Painted, and they chip very easily. Powder coat for longevity or make sure to have them wrapped in a clear bra.

I know you said no black trucks but my grille inserts were a black chrome color and I hated it!!! So I had to plasti-dip them Looks a lot better IMO

You dont want buy the textured black grille. ABS plastic frays when sanded and you have to pile on the primer to hide it which is a very bad idea and will cause the grille to chip easily. Buy the sport package grille and remove the painted outer trim and paint it to match your truck. I did that with a sport grille and a high country.

 

Very nice! Perfect balance between chrome and Pepperdust!

Here is mine! Bought the grill directly from Chevrolet. The headlights were already painted and ready to go. Bought them from a member on here, as well as the black Bow-tie. I am getting the front and rear bumpers color matched as well!

I have a chrome grille, and those grills are just like a plastic chrome over the grill, so does anyone know if you strip away that plastic chrome that is on the chrome grills if you can paint that?
