    Starting to paint most of the full front end

    I agree about all the Chrome but I really wanted that upgraded interior and I have done some painting before on motorcycles and some other cars but you're right it seems a shame they don't offer on monochromatic paint for the upper end trucks. I think they would sell very well. I wouldn't have...

    Starting to paint most of the full front end

    After removing the front end of my 19 longhorn I have completely sanded all of the Chrome on the grill and Grill surrounds and bumper and I'm going to paint that ivory White to match the rest of the truck. The look will be more like the 18 sport because the only Chrome will be the cross slots in...
