Or you can get the chrome door trim and make yourself a billet grill

Thanks, but I still would have to paint it. It's a GMC and it is not the part that you put the chrome door trim on; it's the part outside of that area. I'll post a picture tomorrow.

Here's the grill. I'm only painting the part outside of the center part of the grill.

Will I need to prime the sanded part first before I paint?

It came attached to the bottom of the grill; it is between the grill and the bumper. The that this grill came off of must have been painted before because that green color was all over the bottom of the grill.....cheap paint job. I need that part because the one on my truck is destroyed.

Grille looks nice, that lower part is the bumper filler. Simply put, It fills the spot between the grille and bumper.

Whatever you do, do it indoors! I started painting my rims, got them all sanded off and primed then on the 2nd coat a mosqueto flew in one! Pissed me off like you wouldn't believe! So I took it back down to primer and re did it
