painted Grill

[sonik]

What a coincidence, I was about to post the same topic to show off my painted grille. Did you use Duplicolor #229 Oxford White too? It came out a little darker than the rest of the truck on mine. It didn't come out too well in the picture, but the "chrome" bars in the middle weren't painted.

Very Nice

Looking. Looks like you did A great job on the paint.
I was going to do something like that.
I was going to paint the dark gray with flat black, and apint the chrome White .
I used Duplicolor Witha paint code YO

Just had to do it

All WHITE

OR WITH CHROME

Ya know After looking @ both I just cant' say which one I like more. Also How would they look with white bumpers

I might have done it your way if I knew how long it would take to put the tape on and then take it off. I'm thinking of painting the air dam white, it should go well with my white running boards. This time I think I'll use Duplicolor's Adhesion Promoter or Flexible Primer instead of the regular sandable primer. I did order a Ranger Splash air dam though.

BTW, are you having any problems running 31x10.5 tires?

 

[AintNoFantasy]

well,

either way you go i think it is a cheap way for a great custom look.

My 31x10.5x15

This is the 3rd set i've had on my X.
I've no problems At all. They fix well no rubbing.
I have to say the mud turrain tires i had on did a little rubbing when turning lock to lock. Never hurt the tires or truck. I'm also thinks of painting the air dam. when I change it. I'll most likey get the new air dam from

Explorer Express

$250 for that air dam? I'd rather just cut fog light holes in mine or get the one from a limited trim. I painted mine:
