    Hello there. Noob here.
    I’m searching for paint matched pyrite mica grills. Having a hard time finding one. I would love to have the pro grill but am fine with the OEM. Any suggestions on where to find one? I must get rid of all the chrome.
    Thanks!

    Nice! Thanks for the info. I’ll probably give that a shot. Will follow up with end result.

    They also sell primer and clearcoat, but I’d skip those and get quality stuff at the parts store instead.

    All done. Doesn’t seem to match perfectly but still better than chrome!

    Looks great! Here's the (3) different grilles I have had since purchasing the truck (4) years ago. Top is factory (looks almost black as it was shot underground garage) Middle was after I blacked out all the chrome matte black. The bottom one has an updated insert, and I painted the surround the factory silver. That's the "keeper".

    Thanks! Yeah that’s fantastic progress. I eventually want the pro grill with the lights.

    Yeah, I was very happy with the outcome!:bananadance: I also removed and replaced all the chrome logos and the chrome rear bumper with matte black parts.
