Best GMC billet grille?

[Chris6060]

Hey guys,

So I just bought a 1993+ GMC grille for my '94 Chev. Idea is to paint it white, paint the chrome ring around the grille gloss black and then do a billet grille insert, but I can't seem to figure out who sells a quality billet grille.

Any help would be great!

Not sure about quality as I've never had one, but I know LMC sells them. I've never been unhappy with anything I've bought from those guys.

EDIT - Isn't it going to be dang near impossible to paint the chrome ring around the grille? I don't know much about body and paint work but I thought that people tried to avoid painting that chrome plastic because nothing will stick to it. There are sport grilles available that have a paintable non-chromed border IIRC.

That's a '94+ GMC grille.

Quality, for the most part, is not an issue with billet inserts. Find one that looks good to you and fits your price range and go with it.

Ebay never disappoints when it comes to billet inserts, or you can do like some of the guys here have done and get chrome door trim and use that

I'm happy with my $32 eBay one myself....

So the Chevy grilles changed in '93 and the GMC grilles changed in '94? Or did they both change in '94? My bad guys! lol

I dunno, if you sand down the chrome and then just paint it, wouldn't paint stick to it like normal plastic? I could just plasti-dip it or get a shop to do gloss black vinyl, but I want it to hold up.

Which is why I want a good quality billet grille, I live in a pretty harsh environment and I want it to last. What about a mesh style grille in these? Do those exist?

I did the high density 32 bar billet grill and then sprayed the entire grille with duplicolor truck bed coating aka bedliner.
