beaterjeep Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 You painted over the chrome? If I would have known you were going to do that, I could have traded you the grille and headlight bezels off of Baby, as I want to have her in chrome. I personally like the first paint job you had on it, with the white paint, it's different and stands out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jteckmann Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 thats a diffrent grill from a ??????it didnt fit well and i didnt like it that much i thought it would grow on me but it didnt That looks like an 8-slot grill from a '93-'95 ZJ. Personally, I like the blacked-out look that you've done. That's what I have on mine (but I kept the strip of chrome at the top, to match the hood emblem and the gutter strips on the cab).

STERLING STINGER Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 ya i thought of that....the hood emblem is going bye bye :waving: (along with every other emblem) when it gets painted and there is no chrome anywhere else on my truck at all so i figured id try n match it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real reason I didn't go all black on mine was because I didn't trust myself to remove the pieces and get them reinstalled right, or to get a straight clean line if I tried to do it while on the truck :D. I only sprayed the pieces I could remove. But after seeing yours, I'm tempted to go out and give it a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJM/78 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Looks good with the black ! If it gets chipped up , just re-spray it flat or matt black . That way it always looks good , I did mine back in sept and its still held up . A couple of rock chips though , so I'll re-spray something better it the spring . :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
