Hi guys and girls. Well i got rid of my 2004 dodge ram 1500 and happily purchased a 2016 f250 diesel to pull are 30' toy hauler. I would like to paint the grille and emblems. Any tips and pics of how yours turned out would be great.

Welcome ;tu

Painting over chrome, even if you ruff sand it, has never worked... Long Term.. for me. to many rock, bug and grit hits long term.

Some on here have used bed liner coatings with success ? (in colors too)

:welcome brad m! What color is your truck? In 2004 Ford would paint the grill housing and bumpers the color of the cab. Looked great! :thumbs

If you have the chrome stripped off, by the re-chrome shop it works good.

Welcome and post some pictures of your new truck. The new truck should pull your fifth-wheel with easy.
