I don't know why.. well i do know why, but i painted my grill cause i jsut hate the looks of the old cruddy plastic chrome grill. Much like my 89 toyota pickup i will have to touch the paint up once a year.

After. I also removed the front valiance.

I just did that the other day, it was a lot easier than I thought it would be.



I ended up painting the side mirrors and haven't decided on the door handles...yet.

I did mine last week. Looks good! Now just paint your door handles.

I still have my door handles and rims to do.

how did u strip the chrome? just peel it off? what steps did u use to repaint it black, i want to do mine, looks good btw

I took a scotchbrite pad and scuffed the chrome as much as possible. It will chip, and will need touchup every so often. But i think it is worth it.

I was thinkngi bout the handles but i didnt know how the paint will hold up to the handling from getting in and out of the truck.

Just "standard" spray paint then after the scuff up...?

Yup I am using SemiGloss black, i think rustoleum. I got it at Lowe's
