What happens here

Prepare various exterior components for a custom paint finish. This includes sanding down any chrome parts, such as the grille surround, bumper sections, and mirror caps, to create a suitable surface for paint adhesion. Apply an automotive primer, followed by coats of "Race Red" automotive paint to match the truck's body color, or "smoked black" paint for accent areas like the grille and side vents. Finish with a clear coat for durability and shine.

Goal: Achieve a cohesive and customized exterior look by painting chrome and other components.
