matt,
To carry your idea one step further; dents and dings can be fixed w/bondo, just like you would use it on a regular repair. I have refurbished front grills that way for years. I use Krylon "Dull Aluminum" as a base coat and cover w/Krylon High Gloss clear. W/the Krylon, you get more paint for about the same $. Also, the dull aluminum has to be special ordered. K-mart, Wal Mart don't carry it.

Don't forget to mask off the silver, and repaint the black before you shoot the clear. Details make the truck!!!
