At junkyard now - honeycomb grille and surround

Hey I'm currently at the junkyard, and I found a honeycomb grille and surround that's already painted white (my surround is gray). Junkyard wants $75 for it. Should I do that, or just paint mine white myself, and keep my current grille?

Thanks

do you have to pull the part your self?

thats not a bad deal if the grille is still in good shape. you could always haggle with em once you get there hahah

you can get a new one off of ebay for about that. I wouldn't pay more than $30-$40 for a used one.

That's not too bad of a price. Is your current grille a honeycomb? If so I'd just repaint it, but if not go for the junkyard one.

No I don't have the honeycomb. It's still in good shape. So is the surround. I didn't know if it would be easier to pull that one or paint the one I already have on my truck

It isn't hard to repaint a grille the only thing is when doing a ptm surround you need to find a color match in a rattle can, which can be tough sometimes. If it was me I'd go for the honeycomb and surround that's already painted. IMO the honeycomb grilles look much better than the h-bars.
