That fading and peeling stock grill color had to go... A few hours of sanding, taping and priming later, tada! I have peeling paint and fading everywhere... I at least wanted to clean up the grill area a little bit.
It took a couple of hours to sand, tape and prime, but what a difference...
Every little bit helps! Certainly not going to complain, and it only cost 15 bucks!


Before...




After...

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR RAM HEAD? what a disgrace to 89-90 1st gens.

I love the bumpers that don't have the LE plastic on them, ditch the guards though, lol
