    Same thing.

    Sand, clean, prime, paint.

    As with any painting project, disassemble everything completely before painting. A buddy of mine just left that emblem on his grille when he painted his, and it looks a lot less clean. Paint built up along the edge of the emblem and the recess it sits in, had runs/drips along another side of it, etc...

    Take the grille off the truck and remove the emblem from behind (3 screws). Then paint both separately.

    Same with the bumper valence and chrome inserts. Remove it from the truck then separate the components. (especially since you'll be using dye for one and paint for the other)

    Where'd you get those black signal lights, or how did you black them out?

    I definitely will check that out when it's done. I'm also stealing the idea you had with painting your emblems.. never seen that before but will go perfect with my silver/black theme I'm planning. Gotta pay dad the rest for the truck then let the modding begin... :D
