Re: color match grille: Why no green???
I would have a shop do it. What I don't know is if it can be done well by any good shop or will the finish just disintegrate after a year and I'm out the $$. I think what I'm hearing is that it needs to be sanded, blasted or roughed up first and then the paint job will work. Is that the deal?

Here is some previous info I posted on painting chrome. I'd recommend the body shop too for the best results. Lund Hummer's body shop in Arizona do this often. (I forgot to look where you are located.)

Re: color match grille: Why no green???
Any body shop can prep and paint over the chrome. I had the grill, front, and rear bumpers painted on my Dakota SLT and there were no issues with them for the 4 years I had it after.
My LineX gal said in order to do my grill she would have to encase it or the stuff would not stick to plastic. Is this the case Neocon?

It's not chrome, it's plome. All they have to do is scuff it up with some 50 grit. It will stick fine.
Have her call Eric at the Rocklin shop. He'll explain it to her.

That's what they did with mine. They sprayed the backside of the grill with 1-2 coats also to ensure it wouldn't peel off.

Re: color match grille: Why no green???
I have an extra grille you can have for $50 plus shipping if you want it. Than you can send that in to have it done without having to remove yours and let your truck sit while driving. ...just an idea if your truck is your daily driver

I'd like a shot at that if he doesn't want it. Where you at?
