    WTB a 2012 grille in the MGM color. All i really need is the outer color ring. Mine is chrome and id like it to be color matched to the truck color.

    its going to be hard to find one. either pay a shop to paint or paint it yourself. or buy a new one from the dealer for around 180-200

    Joker i wanted to do the same thing and found that painting it my self was the cheapest way. I found the color match paint it @ http://www.automotivetouchup.com/
    20.00 for the color match paint
    8.00 for the clear
    9.00 shipped.
    I was in only 38 dollars and a few hours of work. I was able to put 3 coats of paint on the grille and 3 coats on the bumper before it ran out.
    All you have to do is remove the grille scuff with 600 grit prime, paint and clear.
    It came out great I will upload some pics soon.

    Check out some MGM base model Trucks on the lot. The gray base grills almost perfectly match the MGM paint. A base grill should be pretty cheap and easy to find, and it will look better and last longer than painting yourself. Thats how I think I'll change mine.
