I'm going to paint my original grille. Prepping will be the most work needed. I'll take some pics before and after.

This is the original GM emblem. Is there a paint to match the gold in the emblem, or just leave it like it is? I painted the black outline with Rustoleum paint.

Yes, Princess. It was on the truck when I got it. Giving this truck to my youngest granddaughter who is 15 at the moment.
