That following weekend, I came home for a short trip. I wanted to repaint the grille to break up some of the orange on the truck. Here is what I started with:

It would be just enough to break the truck up a little more, which worked out great.

Just noticed you changed your grill up. Definitely a nice choice to break up the orange. What did you use for the "chrome" look. It looks painted but I could hardly tell in the photo. I might do that with mine!

Amazing difference with the Chrome style paint, What did you use?

Thanks. Apologies on the such late response. I use Rust-oleum Chrome Spray with 2 coats of satin clear. I prepped the grill well and then sprayed the chrome. Since the truck had a patina look, I actually look a Scotchbrite and gently went over it to get it to match the look of the truck a little more and then sprayed satin clear.
