    After bending the front bumper of my 07 Silverado Classic, by hitting my first deer, here in Texas; I began searching on TH-cam for instructions on how to repair it. Though it became a journey to locate all of the parts online(opposed to paying high priced dealer parts), properly disassemble the entire front end, replace parts, paint parts, and put everything back together; it was your/this video that gave me the confidence and proper instruction to go the distance and fully repair myself. Everything came out better than it was; before the poor deer was victimized by my 45mph bumper. Thank you!

      FFJNVT Thanks, I have done this a few times. Never stripped the paint off a grill before but have painted many grills.

      Matthew Chamakese Your buddy didn't scuff the chrome good enough or didn't clean it good enough. Or he used junk spray can paint. Plasti-dip is for guys that can't paint.

    • @mossman381
      @mossman381  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Matthew Chamakese You are telling people that your buddy did the same thing and it didn't last. That is a complete LIE. If you do it the way I show you can get many many years out of good quality paint. I could care less what you think of me or my videos. You are spreading LIES.

    do you have a video on how you did the smoked chrome it looks nice

    • @mossman381
      @mossman381  8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I don't have a video on smoking chrome. I do have a video on smoking my lights. It's the same concept except you can't scuff the chrome before you start smoking it or chrome won't shine through. Just clean it really well. Our Wisconsin winters finally took it's toll on this grill and I had to repaint it.

    I got 55 watt low beams and 55 watt hids on my fogs 6k and i always have people flashing there brights at me because they are too bright lol

    • @mossman381
      @mossman381  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      There is no need to have 55w in your fogs or low beams. 55w is for high beams or low beams with a projector. 35w is more than enough. The only thing you are doing is making people mad and possible ruin it for the rest of us using HID/LED correctly.

    • @mossman381
      @mossman381  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I understand back roads. Good fog lights can really light up the ditches and side of the roads and help avoid a deer hit. Blinding people is not good though. If a lot of people are flashing you they are too bright or aimed to high. Some people are more sensitive to light.

  • @camachomagic77
    @camachomagic77 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    So you didn't sand at all?? Trying to make my grille on my infiniti g35 just like the gloss black on yours. Thing is, there is clear coat on top that is peeling, o'riley people say I need to sand it off with 800 grit, spray over with flat adhesion primer, sand that with 1200 grit and then put the gloss black on top and to swinish and protect they say to put clear coat. What do you think??

    • @mossman381
      @mossman381  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      ***** I scuffed up the whole grill. Paint won't stick if you don't sand or scuff. If you have peeling clear coat you have to sand it down. If you don't sand it down it will continue to peel even after you paint it. Your top coat is only as good as your bottom coat. If you have good solid paint you can just scuff and paint. All paint systems have different steps before and while painting. You are probably going to have to sand it with like 400 grit to get the clear off. Your paint system should tell you what grit you need to have for your top coats. With the Dupont paint you need 400 grit for your color and clear. It's up to you if you want to use adhesion promoter. The clear is what gives you the deep shine.

    • @camachomagic77
      @camachomagic77 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Okay, so lacquer won't take the clear coat off? So basically The 800 grit won't do anything either?

    • @mossman381
      @mossman381  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      ***** I used thinner because I painted over chrome. If you put thinner on your grill it will take everything off. I would leave the factory paint on it. It should make a good base for new paint. So you can just sand the bad clear off and paint. Using the factory primer and color as a primer. 800 grit will not do much. That grit would be used for buffing. Like if you put a ton of cleat on and planned to sand and buff it. That kind of stuff is usually done to show cars not daily drivers.

    • @mossman381
      @mossman381  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You just have to do the best you can with scuff pads or sand paper. Your fingers will feel real good when your done.

    Apologies in advance if this is a dumb question...I have a 2016 GMC Sierra SLE and I want to paint the front trim black. It looks chrome but is actually plastic. If i scruff it up a little bit, throw some primer down and a few coats of paint, I should be good right?Or do I need to remove some of that shiny finish with a solvent?

    • @mossman381
      @mossman381  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Chrome needs to be scuffed really good before paint. I have had good success with a good scuff then a few coats of etching primer then paint.

    how did you get the chrome piece to snap onto the grill. Do you need clips

    • @mossman381
      @mossman381  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      There are some plastic studs with nuts screwed onto them. Not sure exactly what they are called but the nut grabs the plastic when you turn it. You need to be careful with them. They can strip easily.

      Paul Yeah, I don't think it hangs any lower than the boss mount. I have 10.5" of ground clearance under the plow mount. That is probably more than most trucks have for bumper clearance :) I do hate the look of it. If I keep the plow next year I will most likely remove the mounts for summer.
