Reminds me of good times...when I had my Denali grill PTM with the center gloss black, like you did. Edit: I left mine to a friend that owns a body shop.

Yea looks a million times better than mine. I will bring it to a shop this summer or I'll buy a compressor and paint gun and do it myself the right way

Never tired of your questions, don't worry. I looked into stripping the chrome, talked to chrome shops who said since it's on plastic they can't strip it. Looked at tons of YouTube showing chrome being stripped from plastic but not on things like grills where it's thick chrome. I bought a new grill and tried several of their methods on my old grill but just managed to ruin it. Stuff wouldn't come off without damaging the plastic. So I had my friend who owns a body shop sand the sh#t out of it and use some kind of super primer before painting and clearing it. He said no guarantee on how long it will last but it just made it through it's first winter with sand and gravel on the roads without chipping. I think the secret was hand sanding it for hours.

I just realized, for everyone looking for HD hoods, what about LMC truck? They have a 00-02 HD hood for $515 shipped. If you have the money I feel like that's a reliable source?

A little something for you too @05Single. Old member's ride. View attachment 74479

Seen that one awhile back. I still have blue lights to put on the front and back but I haven't touched the poor hoe in months
But I'll start molesting her this spring and all summer. This time less blue lights and more blue paint

Word of mouth that a local place by me sells them for around $300. Obviously not quite oem quality. But have yet to check them out.
