Re: Grill paint or chrome?
If you have 5 really nice bars I'd go for having them rechromed before I bought a repro. It isn't going to cost less than a reproduction unless you have a buddy or relative that owns a chrome shop But the quality of the chrome is indeed better.
That said, it is something that you could do a year or two after the truck was together and change the look for a fresh look if that 5 or 600 bucks hit the budget too hard. Or just keep it painted because the look grew on you. I need to come up with bars to replace those that got bent on mine and have the grill bars and my bumpers replated after I do some rework and fitting on the bumpers. (Not Chevy truck but not gaudy) I'm going to have to sell off some extra stuff to swing that or get real busy welding up some trinkets to sell.
