    I'm suck at photoshop. Can someone paint the Pro Grille to match the body Silver Sky? I'm about to do this for real but not exactly sure how it will turn out. Want to see if it's really what I see in mind.

    I like to see everything matched except the mesh part. It can can stay black.

    I have the full res jpg if you need it.

    TIA

    It's OP's truck and his choice. Photoshop is a good option to check it out first though, as it might be a little too much. But you will never know if you don't see it first.

    I think the black grille is too much. Out of place

    i personally like the black grille. it compliments the other black accents on the ORs. i'm actually in the process of color matching the letters on the grille.

    I suck at photoshop too otherwise I would try to mock up a picture for you.

    It's your truck. I personally prefer the black grill to match up with other black highlights.

    The scary clown guy painted his white to match his white truck. Might be helpful to look at his.

    Here's a quickie, black is hard to change color without spending a bunch of time on it but this may help you decide

    Not photoshop, not perfect, not silver sky but give you an idea.

    Don't have photoshop at work so Microsoft Excel drawing tool will do the trick!

    I personally think it would look nice with all of the parts on the grill painted to color match except the mesh. Especially if you have a Limited that doesnt have much black to begin with. But it is all a personal preference and to each his own! Good luck and if you do paint it, please post pictures.


    Here is a link to a fellow TW member that painted his white.

    I agree, the Pro grill is a bit too deep black especially against my white. I took the grill off and painted it a flat black.
