Exactly what I wanted to see. Thanks. :Handshake:

I just didn't want to paint the grill before I got a paintable bumper.

It does look good though.

I plan on doing this, I just have a few questions.

When you sand it, do you sand all of the "fake" chrome off of the grille? Part of my chrome has already began to come off, a piece of it did from my stupid power washer. Its right below the passenger side headlight and it really pisses me off.

And my Yukon is Summit White, I assume duplicolor has a match for this color I can get at any auto parts store?

Thanks.

If you can get all the chrome off the paint will stick better. If you can't get it all off just get the peeling sections off. Either way use an adhesion promoter since it is plastic. Your auto parts store should have the paint, or at least a book with your paint code and their color that matches.

I like the matching grill but maybe the GMC doesn't have to match. That's just me though.
