Finally painted grill and put on small tailgate band
I painted the grill using duplicolor Alabaster Silver met and put on some chrome trim strips and a NOS emblem. For the back, I painted the tan part and put on my tailgate band. I used an 07 silverado emblem on the left and a GM emblem on the right.

Re: Finally painted grill and put on small tailgate band
I think it looks awesome might have been cooler black like the chevrolet part to match but nonetheless looks great

Re: Finally painted grill and put on small tailgate band
It's coming together really nice. The grill and insert look great. Personally I would have left the SILVERADO off, but thats just me.

Re: Finally painted grill and put on small tailgate band
It looks good! I like the newer silverado better than the old style I have on mine. But I keep it there to cover up a bad spot in the band.

Thats why I did it. I used my large band screws and they poked into the small band and left little starburst designs. egads! But onlt 3 of the 5 did it.
