Thanks MJ.... I have some Fusion Satin Black I just got Sunday

 

Yeah and your going with a honeycomb right?

 

repainting the one I already have to enhance the new hood

 

Nice man oh yeah you got that cervini hood! haha slick looking hood! wish i could get one for cheaper! but yeah just post pics when u get it done it will look good!

 

good luck on finding one cheaper. .. but if I see another one for sale I'll send ya a PM. with the surround off, I can get started on my bumper covers too

 

Sounds good! and cant wait to see ur truck it should look very good!

 

Alright.................... you guys suck After I got my surround/grille off, I seen soooo much more I could do (and some for the future.... rad support is getting pretty rusty)

Surround / grille out and separated.... I proceeded.

Removed upper bumper pad...Washed all pieces..... including rad shield.

Began painting grille and upper pad black. So far so good.

Then then the dumb F**K hit me. My bright idea was I had bought a can of "Toreador Red" paint from Auto Zone when I got my supplies (to fix the nicks n scratches on the surround). Problem is.... it's darker than my OEM................................... by alot. And no metal flakes.

Anywho... I painted the pieces and while they were drying, went on to buff out some scars on my slightly pricey headlights ( I DID NOT want to practice on these.... but.......)

So here's your pics........... as of right now...........



will post the final in da morning.

 

preliminary... ( fabbed up )....



will finish tomorrow

 

Wow man that looks really good! i think it would be cool if you painted the grey valence black too IMO haha but yeah looking good!

 

thanks MJ. the lower valance will be done tomorrow too if the front plate display doesn't fight too much. The upper screws look to be a b^tch to get out.

After this............. a 3" body lift.... 35" tires ...and next spring a complete new paint job and I can call it D.U.N. done ( I think )


notice how much darker the grille surround is though. I think I'm gonna have the wife take it to the paint shop to have it done right.... when she gets home

 

Haha ok yeah my friend has a 3'' lift with 35's and looks mean! haha and yeah the screws are a b!tch to get off so i would just say mask off your bumper and lights and do it that way!
