Hey guys, I am purchasing a 6" lift, nitto trail grapplers, and black rhino sidewinders soon. Since my wheels will be black and I dont have chrome bumpers(mine are the color of my truck) I wanted to paint my grille black. It was on the truck when I bought it. Im thinking maybe I should leave the chrome border around it alone and just do the verticle lines. (the wheels im getting have a chrome cap So I suppose it would flow) . Im just trying ideas out in my head. Any suggestions?

 

Why?

 

read the description under the pic. sorry the pic is so big

 

Yep, Paint the grill black and get a PTM white grill surround

 

The Rolling Stones say that you should.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

Yes, paint it black.

 

thanks for the feedback guys. how should I go about painting it? the only thing ive ever painted is a potato launcher lol

 

Pick up a few Red Scotch Brite pads from Auto Zone and take your time scuffing the chrome up. Once ALL of the chrome is scuffed, Spray a few light coats of self etching primer, Also available at Auto Zone. Then finish with 4-5 light coats of Rustoleum matte black wheel paint.

 

As much as I am a fan of black. Just did my sidesteps and working on my chrome bumpers, (gonna get flat black vinyl wraps) I would wait and see how it looks with the new wheels and tires. See if u like the look as they are not full black and have chrome accents and go from there. Would be bad if u have 2nd thoughts about a black grill with the new wheels.

 

Ya I'd wait till you get everything on first you might like it as is. Idk if that grille in black would look right.

 

this is a rough idea from the pic you gave us..

 

oh thanks man!!! hmmm....I think I like that look. how about you guys?

 

i like it, but i agree with everyone that you ought to get the other stuff done first and see how it looks before you paint it

 

ya definitely. I think it would look even better If I did the black like you showed but did the chrome outline white to match the truck like blackout said.

 

have patman make you a patman gille for your truck. he uses the stock honey comb and removes the ford emblem so its only honeycomb. and he's local to you.
