I have never noticed a painted Mountaineer grille in the junkyard. All have been chrome. You have a pic of one @CDW6212R ?

So you dip the part in a water based paint basically? Is it recommend say if I wanted to paint a grille? Where can you get it? Do they have ford matching colors?Plastic-dip is a plastic film that's floated on water. It can be any color or pattern you like. Then you part is "dipped" in the film and it transfers to your part. The result are quite amazing. Carbon fiber, camo and wood grains are popular patterns.
Plasti-dip comes in a bunch of different colors.
That's my old Sport, which met an unfortunate end. My new V8 XLT has it's bumper and grill painted OD Green.
May I ask where you got those nice Headlights from?
It is a spray on rubberized coating. Essentially rubberized paint you can peel off later. It's pretty rugged when applied correctly, but can still be removed if you change your mind later. It's a handy way to black out trim and the like.
Here's my old Sport both without and then with a plasti-dipped grill.
They are just ordinary headlights, i'm afraid.
