Been searching and it looks like my only option is eBay for a painted kit?

I bought this kit off Amazon, exactly enough to do my '24 grill swap. Came out great.

Just ensure you shake the hell out of it and use it within 30 days of receiving the paint kit. The primer and clear coat fair better BUT the waterborne base coat sits it goes bad.

I have bought several kits from different vendors and had the same thing happen with the base clumps in the can and sprays out uneven or blows chunks.

Must have been a bad batch, not a single issue with this brand/batch. Everything laid smooth and flashed really quickly.

Other than looks has anyone noted any better cooling with the '24 grill? Should have more air flow.

I’m waiting for a eBay one to be delivered. I’ll report what I find.

This weekend I did several hours at 75mph with my stock grille and RPM extreme fan controller. For a “control” temp I never saw over 205ish. Ambient was 101°, summer is just beginning for us…..

That's why I bought it, it definitely looks like it flows better. I tow a camper during the summer in Phoenix and I'll report back.

Bad batch from different vendors.......unlikely

I have bought painted stuff from Distinction Applied before. Their work is perfect, color matched perfectly.... I HIGHLY recommend them, and I am picky.

Yeah if it was anything other than white or this granite metallic I have, would have gone professional most likely.
