Water Drips Staining Grille
Is anyone else tired of the dark water drip stains on the front grille?
I did this about a month ago and have been watching to see how durable it will be. I used a can of Krylon Fuson plastic paint and a roll of Painters tape - Total cost about 7 bucks.
Yes Kris I know she needs a bath. LOL

What water stains? You drive or leave your truck out in the rain?
I like the look. I'll check back with you on durability. That dull gray on mine doesn't match anything on my truck. May make for a good spring project.

Yea man that is definitely better than the flat-gray!! I'm with Rampage - I've been wanting to paint the gray part of the grill the same color as my truck... Was unsure of how it would hold up though...
Got any pics Rampage??

Man I just thought My truck was dirty. You let her go out in public like that Chris?
After a month of following sand and gravel tucks down the interstate 5 days a week no nicks, dings, or chips yet.

Funny, I have my grill off in the garage all taped off and waiting to be painted in the morning, Don't know what color to paint it, White -the same color as the the truck, or black.

I would vote for the color match color. White would look good inside the chrome as long as there is NO gray sticking through. I like that idea.
