I know I'm way behind on updates but I have been busy on the truck. I did have one major failure with my progress and I'm still unsure as to why. I started the grille restoration with a simple 2 step cleaning process with mild cleaners and dish soap, followed by a complete scuffing with a red scotch brite pad. I then sprayed 2 light coats of bulldog followed by 3 coats of Argent silver paint. The end product looked good for about 2 days then I started noticing the dark spots coming through the paint. I kept thinking maybe I should have primed the dark areas first so I decided to do it over again. As I was taking the grille back out I ended up breaking one of the mounting tabs off and broke one of the studs the turn signals mount on. So after that failure I just ordered a new from RockAuto.
