Work in progress. Got rid of the chrome grill surround. Working on finding painted mirror caps. Going with some black tube running boards and hopefully doing a lightning black headlight swap soon.

I think I have some lined up. If it doesn't work out would you suggest taking them to a body shop and having them painted or is it pretty easy to find a paint match at say a hardware/auto parts store?

Any parts store should have the duplicolor paint in a rattle can that will match your paint. i used that to color match my front and rear bumper on my truck and it matches perfectly, even on a 10 year old truck.

What kind of prep did you do before painting everything?
