Long story short, have been working on blacking out my truck one piece at a time. First project, I started on the grille, had the stock chrome grille and wanted it black. Got in a big rush, as i always do painting, scuffed the chrome grille up a bit and started spraying away. Turned out pretty good, but only took a few weeks for some nice chrome rock chips. Was worried like hell that it would look like complete crap after a short amount of time, especially winter. Found a place in cincinnati, ohio (certifit) that had a black primered oem type grille for $60. Had a day off work this week so I drove all the way down there and bought one, then dropped it off to maaco to be painted. Have heard many horror stories about maaco, but the grille looks great. Matches the paint perfectly, even the blue pearl speckles in the oem paint (brilliant black). Only charged me $128 and had it done the next day, checked with rutherford and they wanted $500 and 3 or 4 day wait. I'm very happy with the end result, if i buy some more parts for the truck that are primed and ready to go, i may have maaco paint them again
