    Or for like 150 bucks you can save yourself time and potential F up and buy the super white grille :D I think that was about the price area for one when I had my 15 Taco

    Or just give painting it a try and if that doesn’t work then fall back to $150 grill. I’d spend $20 in paint and some beers to give it a try

    I bought a bunch of cans of it, they were on sale. I have always had better results with rustoleum colors though.

    ^ This.

    I have a black grille I got for the 12+ conversion sitting on a shelf, so I can swap that in and take my time painting. If it works it works, if not then I'll shell out the dough or just rock the black grille for awhile.

    Why don’t you paint the black grill instead of trying to do the chrome?

    Would the black be easier to work with?

    I would think the black may be easier for the paint to adhere. Either way he will have to scuff the surface of whatever he chooses to ensure proper adhesion with the paint. Mike if you want to go buy a couple drop cloths we can set something up in the garage and knock it out in a day, just do multiple light coats alla day while we booze. Just be sure to get all the nooks n crannies scuffd the f up

    The grille I got for the conversion is derp'd, the grille on the truck is chrome. I'll take the chrome grille off and swap the derp grille on while painting and then switch to the white.
