Gave the truck a new look.
Pics from what it used to look like with the chrome and grey to what it looks like now with the black.

Nice! What did you do to the grill to get paint to stick?

Thanks guys. Was a lot of hard work so means a lot. And what I did to ge the paint to stick to the grill is scuffed it up real good with 80 grit sand paper then I used an adhesion promoter as a primer and did about 3 coats of it, then I painted it with about 5 coats, then clear coated it with 3 or so coats. Stuck really well. I just took a trip from flagstaff to Phoenix about 150 miles through the mountains with bugs and some small rocks hitting it and no chipping or anything at all. Then took it through a car wash when I arrived and it's still in great shape. Going to be taking it to Vegas over the weekend too.

Thanks. Its all still holding up great too. I always use Rustoleum on anything I can because in my opinion it holds up better than the Duplicolor and is much easier to use. Thinking about adding a racing strip with plasti dip either down the middle or have a side strip on my bed later on but not sure what to do yet
