    It's a whiter white than the truck, but it will tone down in time i think.

    All honest opinions accepted.

    I took out my grill, and painted the emblem with 2 coats after I dropped my daughter off at the bus stop this morning. And still had an hour before I had to go to work. I put it back in at lunch time. The beauty of working and living at the same place. Spare time to do stuff...LOL.
