black grille??

hey i was jw if ne1 knew were to find one or how i can paint mine so it wont chip?????? thanks for the input guys............

IIRC, you have the 03-05 Silverado grille right? I'd say it would look better colormatched than painted black, but it's your call. I think you can paint over the chrome, lots of people have done it. Or if you're that nervous about it get the colormatched factory grille that comes in primer and paint it that way. The part number for that is 19168630 and it's pretty expensive. I say either stick with the chrome and add a billet grille, or colormatch.

well i have a 04 sierra, i just painted it black but i hit a bug already has a small chip in the paint , so i was jw if theres any way i can tough'n up the paint or whatever i can do, im deff not a painter but i can color between the lines lol so any help is great thanks agian guys...

I'm not sure, I'd say sand it, use adhesion promoter, primer filler, wetsand, then base coat and clear coat and wetsand again... That process always worked for me...

humm kk ill try it out, i always do a crap load of coats and it always chips, i usally sand every 2 coats tho does that matter?

I have a black grille, and i painted my bowtie black. I sanded it with like 4oo grit if i remember correctly, then used 2 coats of etching primer, 3 coats of paint (waiting hour or so between coats) and a 4ish coats of clear. Have had it for almost 2 years, have 1 or 2 tiny chips, but that is from pretty hard abuse by bugs/ following behind other trucks on gravel roads, hitting branches offroad, etc.

hummm maybe ill have to re do it and do that...? thanks for the input tho guys
