Let the De-Blinging begin....painted my grille and rear emblem

I've wanted to get all my chrome powder coated for a while but $$ is running short round here so I thought I'd have some fun with the spray I had in the shed.....I did my grille and rear emblem.

The grille is flat black with a metallic(close to my body color) bowtie embedded that you can only see when the sun hits it right.. Here are some pics, I'll post more when I get it back on the truck:

Can't really tell the difference so it needs reinstallation then pics like you said...

Here this will clear it up: You can only see the bowtie as shown below when the sun hit's it right, the rest of the time it's just flat black. It won't hold up too long since I am a ****** painter but when i get the scrilla' I'll have it done the right way:

Here is a pic where you can see the bowtie, my truck is not facing the sun so I can't get a good pic of it on and it's like a phantom image anyway and hard to get a good flick.....

I'm hoping to have everything else powder coated and my roll pan on by the time the food drive rolls around on 1/16.....

Looks better,

When you eventually get it painted, what color are you going with? I think if you matched it to the rest of the truck it would look tight.

All the chrome will eventually be powder coated with a flat black slightly textured powder coat. I'm going for low-lights( as opposed to chrome highlights) and since my truck is a metal flake charcoal the flat black will contrast nicely. I'll eventually get the grille powder coated proper instead of spray canned but will keep the phantom emblem idea, just with better paint.
