Old Pic of my Truck - Help with the exterior
I'm putting a street scene SS style bumper cover on my 2003 reg cab and I want the grille shell to match. Right now it has a chrome plastic coating. Is a body shop able to paint over that stuff? Or what is the process to making the shell black?
Also I will need headlights. Any suggestions that will go with the black bumper and shell/grille? Thanks guys http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/...5/IMG_3696.jpg |
Body shops can get paint to work with chrome. I would paint the side markers black in your stock lights. Looks good mang
|
Definitely strip it before you paint it! A guy on here was just telling me to use a razor blade and cut through the chrome and then peel it off. I say whatever you do don't paint over the chrome!
|
You could bake your lenses and paint the side markers black...which would look good or go all clear...even tinted lenses would look slick if you wanted the murdered out look
|
Looks good dude
|
I personally think that it would look good with cleared lenses with everything else the same color, would contrast everything else nicely
|
Black background headlights off eBay ftw.. And for sure strip the chrome before you paint
|
Yea I definitely wouldn't paint over that fake chrome crap. I will have the grille shell painted, bumper all black, and the side mirrors need paint.
Has anyone dealt with aftermarket headlights? I want them to be black halo maybe. Any suggestions? |
I had halos in my old dodge they were cool but always thought they looked cheesy. I know a buddy paid like 80$ for a set of black background clear headlights for his 03 Chevy
|
So I have a checklist going for my exterior:
SS Bumper Smoked black headlights (decided against halo's) Smoked black taillights Paint the grille shell black Paint the side mirrors Frame C Notch |
