I'm in the process of doing a white one right now as well. Paints all done, I had a auto body supply shop here mix my white for me turned out great. Just waiting on mesh to. Hope yours turns out good for you.

 

Awesome where is the DIY guide I searched maybe Im retarded lol


Looks good I was thinking of trying this.

 

whats the color code on your truck.... 040?? j/w cause that paint i bought is the same color as my truck its in the first pic its 040 paint paid 7 bucks for it body shop cant touch that lol

 

I remember sanding a lot. I hate sanding.

I have had mine for about a year and the only issue I have ad is the cable ties popping off. I fixed them a few months ago and so far so good.

 

^^^that a question i need answered what did you use to attach the mesh to the grille????

 

Just won a used grill off ebay, can't wait to get started on mine!

 

There is one in my area on craigslist for 50$ im thinking about buying it and doing the same. looks good so far !

 

Nice work!! Looks like some Budweiser was involved too!!
