Coincidentally, I saw a grille for sale earlier today for $75. I think it was in Laffy.

Just went back and checked. It's not like yours. I dismissed it as soon as I saw it wasn't a NNBS GMC grille. Shopping for one for a friend.

Your grille looks better than whatever that style is, anyway! Now I gotta go back a page and try to picture it colormatched.

So, I still haven't found a tub/container long enough to soak the grill. The large grill surrounding is about 49“. I was thinking an underbed shallow storage container (plastic). I need something shallow so I don't have to buy 8, ******* gallons of muriatic acid, lol.

Also, I wanna do something with the chrome "windows" on my wheels. They're plastic, so powdercoating them is out of the question. I hadn't realized how may different versions of these were available until I actually got them. Most gmc wheels are one color, with no windows. [emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369].

Kiddie pool from Dollar General? I know such items are far out of season, but they may still have some floating around their storage.

Good idea.

Yeah but about that 8 gallons of muriatic acid you didn’t wanna buy....

Throw some bricks in there next to the top and bottom of the grille to take up space and square-off the usable pool area? I'd guess that 4-5 average bricks would replace a gallon of liquid.

Do you need the acid full-strength or can you dilute it with water, like at a 1:4 ratio?

Glad I posted this here, lol.

I was told by the guy who had done a few that he uses full strength. I'm sure I can add a little water if I need it just to cover a little bit. I found it at lowes for about $5.5/gal.

Muriatic won’t dissolve bricks or cause them to bleed into the plastic? I wondered about that when I thought of trying this method but it didn’t matter since I never found a container big enough for the Denali grill. I thought about making a frame out of wood and using heavy plastic sheeting to hold the acid.
