Post the pics up when it's done...should look good. I don't like chrome on these trucks either, and I think color coded grills look really sharp. Someday I'll be doing mine..it's just not as easy to color match mine lol.

Thanks, I will! The link has WIP pictures btw, dunno if you saw that.

Yeah, those colors are hard to find.

Some blazers look awesome, depends on the paint. A nice candy orange looks sick with chrome, but stock colors ... not so much.

I did see the pics...none that I saw with it on the Blazer though.

And the colors aren't hard to find at all. They're next to impossible to match without a paint mixer due to sun fading and rain and other factors that change the color overtime from stock.

Thanks!

Here it is before I took it off (my dad doesn't wanna drive it without it). I didn't remove all the masking tape, thus the blue stuff. I've gotten a first coat of black on, pics coming tomarrow unless its raining.

He's going gloss (read his blog) but I don't think it'll be glossy without a few coats of clear... the more the shinier! lol
