Nice clean looking truck, the blacked out grill is flaking a bit.

Looks good.

Painting over chrome is really difficult, if not impossible to keep looking good after many years. I just tell people to go buy a black plastic grille. Bedliner material as a coating is thicker, rubbery and would last longer -- as long as the owner doesn't mind the look.

I'm digging the grill minus the flaking plasti dip. Looks like they cut the bars out and fiberglassed some flats in and attached mesh to the back so it has a recessed look. Hmmmmmm may have to make one myself

I hope he wins his next 4 basketball games. As a the NCAA National Champion, I'm Pretty sure his name-image-likeness deals will include a new truck. Then I can bring this one home for his little brother!

Rock Chalk!

That's why you are supposed to remove the chrome prior to painting it. Paint on the chrome, like you said, will not work well.

It is as bought. The prior owner did all of the de-chroming. Once I get it back to AZ it will get some proper maintenance and tlc to reverse 4+ years in the Midwest.

Later,
