Default weekend project

So this weekend i decided to tackle painting my grill and lower valance on my front end. taking it apart was a fairly easy. now just hoping it will turn out well. also i plan on taking off the pinstripping. what is the best way to do that anyone? thanks

so these pics are when i did the pinstripping and the 4x4 decals. it was real easy, just peeled off and then had to use some goof off to remove the residue.

I think the flares look a lot cleaner red than black. Have you thought about getting some lightning headlights for it?? I think they would look with your truck.

Looks great! I've been debating about painting my lower valence black when I paint my grill. I may have just made up my mind! I like the look.
