Re: What did you do yo your truck today??

I painted the grille. Paint was fading off and needed freshening up. I got new lights and lenses since those were all dulled out and lights far from clear. I used the same charcoal color I put on the wheels. I wanted the grille to still look factory while matching the wheels. I was originally trying to match wheels to grille but came out darker. I like the grille a touch darker, kinda like the W/T grille but lighter. Last fall I put a new third brake light and tail lamps in to freshen up the rear.

Before. Can't tell how bad the paint is faded off, but dull and aged looking for sure:

Freshened up. A minor thing, but all lenses on truck now are clear and fresh:
