*Off-topic. Before looking further in detail at your first pic is it weird that within 3 seconds of seeing the shop stsall style I went "Americas/Discount Tire" based solely on the style of lifts, colors, and layout? ;)

Looks good, how much overspray was on the hood/ bumper from when you sprayed the grill?

Very little as I taped everything off then taped plastic to cover hood. I had a little on the front bumper as I didn't cover that well. It just wipes off with a towel.

Rust oleum high temp enamel 1200 degrees

Scuffed up with sand paper and cleaned with soap and water

I've been debating back and forth between doing that and having a local powder coating place do them. They quoted me $50 for the job.

Did you oven cure them or cure them by doing the run/cool sequence on the truck?

Run/cool sequence. I will probably get another set and powder coat. I think I want to go gloss vs flat
