not to hijack but man love your truck reminds me of my old 2000 clean clean clean, simple, and not flashy but with a stout motor. except mine was white.

as far as the bumpers i plan to color match mine if people would stop running into the damn thing. i will prob go with a etching primer since i will have it done when it is in the shop being fixed.

 

the grille, even on the LTZ is chrome. The Painted grille is a GM accessory.

The bumper on the LTZ on the other hand is completely painted with no chrome.

 

Yeah it's just an accessory, the dealer puts them on their LTZ models out on the lot quite often, but the bumper he was asking about me saying it was sand-blasted and painted had nothing to do with the LTZ part about the grille you have a regular cab and so do i, LTZ is not an option for us so the bumper was painted and yes the front bumper is painted on the LTZ but not the rear. We can get technical but it doesn't matter everything was painted on my truck in april of 2007 a week after I bought it chrome is gay

 

Same here...removing the chrome was the FIRST thing I did too.

 

I have a LTZ and the grill is not painted it is chrome and i like the way it looks with my blue on the truck

 

Oh by the way JB truck looks killer with the lift

 

thanks

 

his truck does look nice with the lift and thanks for the help with the headlight mod

 

I took off my chrome grille, sanded, painted, wet sanded, then applied two more coats as well as a clear coat. To be honest, it came out great.

 

i had all my chrome powdercoated (except grille because its plastic)
