I wanted a paintable version as well but to buy one from the dealer with all the parts is just over 2k ....the parts Counter guy was shocked too....really I would have thought it cost more to chrome plate a part vs a paintable part.....so we will have to see how it comes out painting my chrome one.

Just take the chrome grill apart and then have the chrome lightly blasted. After that then prime and paint. Got to be cheaper then those painted ones.

Read carefully--some of those e-bay ads are for 2500 and 3500 grilles and I think they are different than the 1500's

Ebay seller listed more of them for sale. Also listed LED taillights. YIKES!

I see, wife said no to blowing $400 on it today. Looks like I got to do more work around the house!

You take the grill completely apart then take the chrome parts to a media blaster and have them lightly blast all of the chrome. Now just prime and sand then add your base cost and your clear coat. Reassemble then install, if done correctly it will last just as long as a factory painted one. Sounds hard but its not.

If I get permission "from the wife" to spend the cash I may get one of these and do the same in PW7 Bright White. Then I will take my old grill and sell it to make back some of the cash. ;)

The one on my Ram now used to be chrome, painted it two years ago and still looks great.

They come in black. Its some kind of primer, just sand and paint. You can also just have it wrapped then installed.

I want to get one for my Ram, maybe a Xmas present to me later in the year.

Yep!! that's what I had in mind, i'm adding this pic to show how badly the fiberglass one fits. Not only that but" I had to have it wrapped because its finnish was so bad that nobody would dare paint it , so I had it wrapped and now it's discolored and really doesn't match the truck anymore. Oh! one more thing I also had to add hood locks so it doesn't blow up at high speeds, I don't like the look of them at all. I guess the next thing is you letting me know how to order one, That is a metal hood right? Look at the gap between the hood and the body, it's also lifted up a bit and held down with bungi cords.IMG_20190710_061303.jpg 20180609_122903.jpg 20180609_123021.jpg 20180624_160550.jpg
