    Most definitely white. It worked best with all of the other colors on your truck.

    I'm wanting to get my chrome grill off my truck. But I cant decide if I should just paint it, or buy one off ebay.

    Well, If it was an actually plastic surface, then I could guarantee that it would work. But since it is chromed, then I don't know.

    How much is an OEM grill?

    No, keep the chrome grill & trade headlights with me so both of our trucks will have matching grill/headlights...........please. lol. IMO the white like in the pic above would look great......with a chrome insert & my headlights. ;) .....since you have the chrome side mirrors.

    I personally like the black surround. Have you thought of doing a glossy black on the grille as well?
