Painted My Grille Inserts and Headlight Ring

[rebel horseman]

It was a pretty day today so I decided to do something productive outside. I removed the grille from the old girl cause it was looking a little worn. I decided to paint the four grille inserts and both of the headlight trim rings in a flat black scheme to go with the black wheels and copper paint. Here are the results.

And yes I know the grille surround is cracked. Haven't been able to find one in a junk yard and don't feel like shelling out the money for a new one cause I'm a cheap skate.

looks good. i like the copper, got any side views?

on a related note, 91 trucks had grey inserts, 92-93 were black.

Fish,

The headlight rings before they were painted were a silverish-gray color. Looked terrible and the paint was flaking badly. The grille inserts were black originally but they too were flaking off badly. Here are some more pics.

that truck is very nice, love the color love the wheels my ideal truck if it was a 4 wheel drive

[rebel horseman]

Yeah mine too. That's probably my biggest gripe about the truck is that it's a 2wd. But it's surprisingly good off road nevertheless.

Looks good! I like the truck too.

I painted my grille inserts metallic black they look nice i jsut screwed up and forgot the headlight rings. a dishwasher does a real good job of prepping them aside from a bit of sanding, got all the bugs and gunk off effortlessly.
