looks good... That poor bumper!!!! what the hell hit that thing? I see yellow wires, I say driving lights somewhere??? Change the color of the bowtie the flat black just isnt doing it.. i know its your truck but when i paint stuff, i paint to be noticed.. Just my 2 cents..if you want a set of custom painted turn signal lenses done just holler.........you just need to send me those lights so i can do them and i`ll get them back to you asap...

I don't know what colour black my truck is but I found a gloss "Midnight Black" "touch up" spray & it looks absolutely stock.
I guess too that black is an easier colour to work with. I gave it about 4 clear coats.

That grill looks fantastic! It also looks like you painted the headlight bezels. I know what I'm going to do in a couple weeks!

Just smoked the turn signals and tail lights today. They are awesome and i checked to see if you can see em at night and they work fine. all i did was use the car paint from advanced mix 10% black with 90% clear.
Next project is repainting that bumper.

Looks good... it's too bad it's so hard to match paints. You can see the strip is a little lighter than the rest. I still love it though. If the chrome on my grille wasn't integral to the look I was going for I'd be spraying mine to match like you did.

Good job.

Can I ask what happened to the bumper? looks like it got backed into a couple of times, or did you go bulldozing through some brush? lol
