Check out my new grill (cheap mod)

[2003Z71]

This cost me $4.24 for a can of bumper chrome spray paint and a couple of hours. What do you guys think?

Looks awesome!

Tell us more. What is it, where'd you get it, how much?

[2003Z71]

JUst go to your local auto parts store and grab a can of Plasti-Kote chrome bumper spray paint. Pull your stock grill off of your truck. The whole unit comes off so you just can't take the grill itself out. Wash it down with dish degergent and warm water. Tape it off with masking tape and shoot about three or four coats on from both front and back so the paint gets inbetween the grill. about 30-45 minutes between coats. Let it dry for a couple of hours and throw it back on. Easy

Looks better . might consider doing that to the farm rig if its not all that much

Looks good, wish I could find something honeycomb. I'd like a speedgrille, but with the Go Rhino guard, I'm not sure if I could get it on or not.

Looks good. Cheap mods=

 

I hope you sanded and primed it first otherwhise it will flake right off in no time.

[2003Z71]

Didn't sand or prime it. I hope it sticks. The paint was for plastic.

Looks great, but you'll be sorry you didn't prep it first.

[EXJAY]

i think he'll be ok. how can you honestly sand every little hole in that grill and still be sane after your done. plasticote usually holds up well but if not due to being in the front of the truck, just spray another coat if it starts to get bad

[greyghost03]

Looks good!

[QuinnyQuad]

Did the small grilles at the air holes in the bumper come with the truck or did you have them made????

Looks great!
