Removing the grille is easy. On each side under the headlight and above the signal there are push in pins. Pull a little. Then there are 4 twist screws that you twist to the left .25 of an inch and it comes out.

Sanded it down a little to scuff it up. Then I had a paint store color match the white paint to my truck in a spray can. Then taped off a part of it, sprayed the black using duplicolor universal black. Gave it two coats of black. Let it dry then taped off the black and the grill then sprayed the white then sprayed the clear over it.

Yea I fucken like that. Sick. How much did you scuff the plastic and what did you use? Scotchbright red? And was there any special paint involved cuz plastic?

I want to paint match my bumper too but thing is it's chrome and last time I tried to paint chrome (which I prepped ecka good with da sander scotch right and kept very clean when primered) and ran into problems with primer just scratching off and not being able to paint cuz I wouldnt stick to primer that's falling off.

Any advice? ( not tryin to thread jack lol)
