Its made from a stock 05 grill and they are plastic so you can powdercoat it. It was painted the right way I'v been doing body work for 6 years. plastic prep, high build primer base coat, clear coat. I had it on my truck for half a year and no chips in it. I'm not one for spray paint really but if you wanted to paint to match it you can go to your local paint shop and they can put it in a spray can for you. Or just take it to a body shop and it would be cheap. And its an 05 grill so you need to do the 05 bumper. It looks 10 times better when you do.
