How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

Kenny, is there any way I can paint the recesses on my grille? Each opening has a recess around it that I want to paint black or body color.

All the recesses are a PITA to get painted and I painted all mine one color. Mainly it's from so many different angles and the paint building up on the leading edges.

I got the best results from laying the grille flat on it's back and using light coats to gradually color fill everything. if you go to heavy at once, the paint will all build up on the front edges of the holes and make a mess. just go light, its a pita to scuff up all that for painting, but it's a bigger pita to sand runs out of all those little nooks.

Also make sure to paint it with LOTS of light. you'll be amazed how much you'll miss even with good light, so with bad light it'll probably look like camo...
