Looks good! Did it separate from the "chrome" surround or did you have to mask it off?

Looks great, I bought a paintable grill from Ebay, color matched the surround with touchup paint from Autozone and painted the center black.

I removed it from the surround and painted it

i love that Blue!!! Have you thought about removing the door moulding and pinstripe? I did on mine and it turned out good.

You can thank my wife for that. she edited the photo to make it look like that. its a darker duller blue in person. I did that with my truck and it left all the tape and looked horrible.

Looks good. I've been meaning to paint my grill and the chrome around it black, but just to lazy on my days off

It's a bit of a pain. You have to remove the plastic cover on the radiator support. Remove the side markers. Remove the plastic pieces from between the bottom of the grill that covers the gap between the grill and bumper (not the piece on top of bumper). Remove all the screws in the grill (can't remember how many). Has 2 clips on the bottom but it should pull out.
