Grill facelift

Got inspired by a previous thread so I yanked the inserts out of my 76 F250.
Shot the leading edges with Krylon Fusion Metallic Shimmer. After several layers of clearcoat, I masked off the leading edges except for the twin sets of verticals and hit everything with flat black.
Final thing was to mask everything off except the headlight buckets. I hit those with spray-on bedliner. I'm pleased with the results.
Glad someone posted the thread earlier as I was getting bored waiting for my new carpet to arrive.
