Default Painted some stuff on the ole silverado

Painted the billet grill and bowtie, I've been looking for some gmc or silverado stock 20s but haven't had any luck. If you know anybody that has some in Georgia let me know. Any tips on what to do to the truck are appreciated

Mods to the truck are 5 over 20% tint, dynomax dumped exhaust, billet grill, boss double din, kenwood door speakers powered by a Rockford fosgate 360a2, 10k hids

Paint the valance black to match. No clue why they made them grey?! Get a diff antenna, recon tails, 3rd bl, take off the moulding, put fog lights in?

I agree on the grey valance, it needs to be black too.

On these trucks do the OEM z71 fog lights mounting brackets behind the valence? And how would I go about painting the valence, with it being plastic wouldn't the paint flake if it happened to flex?

I would just mask or tape the lights.
Use a Interior mat black paint, it has special agents in it to adhere and flex agents so as not to crack and flake.
Wash the valance with a reducer or mineral spirits then let dry.

Tons of people paint the valance no problem. The worst part is getting it off, you'll see when you start messin with those stupid clips. Pain in the ***. The secret is in the prep work. Get a good cleaner, then an adhesive promoter, then spray the thing.
