finally painted my grill and my emblems

grill before the paint

really got to clean it this week sometime and get alot better pictures

the grill look super good intill i clear coated it... i dont know if i messed it up or my clear coat was junk... but it made it look really bad it some spots.. and super good in other spots.. i have to redo it this weekend i think i aint seen it in the day time in good light yet
but just figured i would see what you guys think

 

The grill looks 10 times better. Are you planning on getting inlays for the badges?

 

Yeap, looks alot better!!

 

looks wayyy better man good work

 

Love the grill. Not a fan of the headlights though.

 

grille looks much better!

 

Grill does look a ton better on your truck

 

grill looks 10x better and x2 on badge overlays

 

ya..i never liked the chrome grill... i ordered a black one and was back ordered so they gave me a hellov a deal on this chrome one..

i dont know what im going to do with the badges yet ... i like them how they are but i thought about doing like red inlays

still have the tailgate to do.. but its got a huge dent in it from my trailor.. hitch broke while i was loading my race truck and tongue of trailor pretty much violated the tailgate
...thank you all for the replys

 

what did you use to paint and clear it. what does the clear look like now? when i did mine and my mirror caps ptm i still wet sanded the clear and then used rubbing compound to polish them

 

sorry for the late post ...

i dont remember the name of the clear ..( not home at the moment) ... but it was the same brand as the paint.. i got it from auto zone..

i think i am going to wet sand it and clear it again.. if that dont work..i will probably sand it back down and just paint it gloss black...

i just painted my stock wheels gloss black and they look great... there just going to be on for the winter didnt really care what they looked like and they look pretty good..

i just wanted the grill to turn out good and last

 

first snow dusting this year...woot woot

grill with halos on...just threw it in there

factory wheels i painted i almost like these better than my new wheels ahaha

 

Well, for what its worth... If you didnt sand down the grill before painting.. or the rims.. or use adhesion promoter.. you might want to start over with those things.. just a suggestion... The paint on my badges and tail lights started flaking after 2 or 3 car washes. So I stripped em down with Ooops! and started over using adhesion promoter first. I got it from Advanced Auto, but I used rustoleum and a rustolem satin clear after.

 

yep...sanded and used promotor and clear coated everything but the wheels....i didnt give my wheels much time aha...there just for winter i just sanded and primered threw a couple coats of paint on them
