"NEW" Grill, alright!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SkylineNXS · 11-02-2007, 12:32 AM

So today i tore of my grille and painted it up, still looks pretty crappy, but better than before. I painted the grille part and the chevrolet gloss black, but i didnt wait long enough for it to dry before i masked it, so instead of masking the "chrome=like" silve and repainting black, i sprayed a bunch of rustoleum black into a butter container (without the butter of course), and used a sponge brush to fix it all up, turned out ok, if i do it again ill be sure to do it better... Also put in some straight-from-walmart carpet, cost me 8 dollars...better than 250 at the moment. Plus i have about 20 floor mats so i added those too. I also painted the rearend and stuff yesterday, it was lookin pretty bad before, at least now its one color. Still need to remove the tape from the stainless lines...Enjoy...

I'm basically "old school" except when it comes to the LED's. I really like the bright focused LED headlights and the "instant on" of the LED taillights. Lookin' clean.

Must be sweet to set your grill in after restoration. Your truck is looking good.

drewmangoo · 11-02-2007, 09:06 AM

Truck looks nice. Where did you get those headlights.

Lane · 11-02-2007, 09:06 AM

Nice!

SkylineNXS · 11-02-2007, 09:35 AM

All lights on the truck are straight from the LMC cataloge. Headlights were 4o dollars a piece, kinda a lot, but they really arenice, plus they come with the lamps, but i bought blue lamps anyway....

Thanks guys!
