    Unless you are going with black, any other color to match the rest of the truck would be difficult to do the rattlecan way unless you take it to a shop, which would not worth the cost of a plastic grille. Many here plastidip or paint the chrome grille black.

    There are custom matched rattlecans on the net. I bought some to paint my Scion XBs wing..a very unusual red metallic and they nailed it. I strongly recommend the two part, true urethane clear in the rattlecan as a top coat. It dries very quickly, is rock hard and very shiny! www.automotivetouchup.com/ Great folks. Great products.
