im about to start now.. so i just pull to get the grill off? and im going flat black on it. would it be better to sand down first or would it not matter? i have a blue color and a gree. but the blue doesnt match my color blue on the truck so i figured it would be funky looking, if i didnt like it i think id just go find a junk yard and pull the emblems off the blazers there

dont even need to remove the grill just tape it off. i sanded mine some. you can use plasti dip also, no sanding required and easy to remove if you dont like it. youtube it

if you're going to paint it, just mask it off. no sense risking breaking something by pulling the whole grille off.
