- 2021 F250 XLT Tremor Antimatter Blue 7.3 gas
So...... I was going to buy a black grill for my 2021 XLT tremor and install. But decided to first try and paint the existing chrome grill. If it turned out like shit i'd go
ahead with the new purchase, no worries.
I removed grill and sanded down by hand. Just tedious. Cleaned grill with alcohol to remove residue and commenced to hanging and painting in my backyard.
This is redneck stuff right here, lol. Came out pretty well thou IMO.
While I had grill off I installed a hidden front mount hitch receiver. Plan to use a basket up front to carry stuff. This hitch basically was a bolt on install.
Directions say for paint say to dry for 24 hours or more. I used the next few days and installed two slim LED lights in grill. After grill was installed back on truck
I wired the lights to uplifter fuse block on passenger side. Very simple.
Pretty happy with it so far.........
Also replaced the factory bed decal with one I had printed.
Grill before paint
Grill after paint
LED Light
Installed on truck
Finish . . . . .
