Just traded in my 2006 H3 with 159,601 miles on it for a 2008 H3 Alpha with only 25,000 miles and a new car smell!

I'm on the Kentucky/Tennessee line near Dale Hollow Lake if anyone is near me.

Anyone know where I can buy a grill to match my factory paint?

Thanks!

Stephen

I could be wrong but at this point color match grills don't seem to be in stock. I remember seeing some with only the ecoat black primer last time I looked.
Best bet is to scotch brite pad scuff very good the one you have and shoot it with the color code you want.
If you cannot do that you may choose a matte textured black you could spray on or some even have it bed liner sprayed. When doing the bed liner it has been determined to of course remove it and have it professionally sprayed front and back so the edges don't peel.
The pros shoot it on hot and can add a UV protectant.
I shot my grill with textured matted and the hood with Plasti-dip for now.

Hello and Welcome. We have had 3 08 Alphas and loved them all. It's nice to have the V8 power when you need it.

As far as the grill. There may be some of the unpainted black grills still out there. Keep an eye on eBay and craigslist. What color did you get?
