The history....

Well the truck was a dually when I bought it. White with a metallic dark blue stripe.
Didn't need a dually, just got a good deal on it, so I swapped the rear axle, bed, and front hub/rotors. The new bed was a different color and my factory paint on the cab looked like crap.

So I did some body work on the bed, primered it, painted everything white, and I love the white with red stripe look...

So I did the cab with the red... but then the weather got bad and I hanv't had a chance to finish. I don't have a garage or a shop to work in.

Semper Fi!!!

How did you apply the white to the front grill? did you spray over the chrome or get a black xl grill to paint?

I was thinking of whiting my grill out.

Yes you can do that. What color is yours? I did mine with the Krylon plastic paint, it matches up pretty good. Cant tell a difference 20 ft away.

My diesel is white. My 1/2 ton is dark green with a hint of oxidation.

Yut! Semper Fi!

I used a adhesion promoter, and then white krylon plastic paint over the chrome XLT grill (my chrome was halfway gone anyways).

It was good for a coupld months but then it's starting to flake off the chrome parts now. I'd get a XL grill and do it if you want to go that route.

I actually am wanting to go back to the chrome grill, either stock XLT chrome, ALL chrome stock grill (looks sweet), or a billet grill
