I painted the grill, and upper bumper cover myself. The center part of the grill came out great. The outter trim that is body color not so much. It's not a flexible paint so and rock hit chips the paint off. Not only that when I tapes the grill to paint the center portion my green automotive non stick painting tape actually peeled the paint off.

The trim on the grill is auto parts store factory color paint. Grill is black bumper paint which I an going to try and look in color close to factory so I can really so it.

I am thinking about doing the chrome strip on the bumper with some VHT epoxy black paint after the sanding( found the process online) procedure.

Here's some new pics, got a little crazy with the plasti-dip.

Also got rid of the door molding dent protectors on each side( claybared the shit out that too). Cleaned up the sides of the truck real nice. Now I just need some smoked head and taillight and get my windows tinted.
