Truck is SICK!!!!!!

 

Look n good bro.

 

What did you do to paint the chrome on the grille/surround? I want to do the same thing, but have been hesitant because its plastic. Did you just scuff and paint or did you take more steps? What paint did you use?

 

Looks good man If my truck was black i would do the same but I think it only looks good on a black truck.

 

x2. Looks really good man a world of difference...

 

Well mikracer and yamaha Dave , I just scuff the crap out of it and put some primer and then painted it with a satin black. It looks good fresh but we will see how it will look in a few months. Next to dechrome will be the sides mirrors,

 

Thanks for the info. I might have to try it pretty soon.

 

Copycat

I used plasti-dip on mine. It's much easier and I believe will hold up better against chipping and stuff. It's only been there a few days so I can't speak for durability yet.

 

Yeah dip sounds good but I didn't look around for it and it was just some paint I have laying around, I might have to do that for the mirrors and door handles
