Open your hood, pop off your front grille and turn light assem., remove the two nuts from the back side securing the bow tie. Lightly wet sand the plastic bow esp. the edges, 6 to 8 light coats of Rust-Oleum "Paint for Plastic" direct to plastic paint followed by 6 to 8 light coats of Rust-Oleum clear coat. I allowed the paint to dry in my warm, dry house for 72 hours before reinstallation. I painted mine gloss black, but color matching your truck or a contrasting trim color like the red "Z" on a ZR5 are possibilities.
Cost - Two cans of spray paint @ $4.50 each 400 grit sandpaper from the shop, free = Total $9.00
2. Custom Color Recovery Hooks
Gm must use water color to paint these. Mine began to rust within two years. Unbolt the hooks from the bottom, wash them down with soap and steel wool, prime with Rust-Oleum automotive primer, 6 to 8 light coats of Rust-Oleum or Color Match gloss enamel followed by 6 to 8 light coats of the clear that you bought for the bow tie project, allowed the paint to dry in warm, dry place for 72 hours before reinstallation. I painted mine yellow to match my truck's body color. They really look sharp in contrast to the black bumper. Cost - Two cans of spray paint @ $4.50 each, Clear coat that you now have from the Bow Tie project, free and soap and steel wool from the shop, free again = $9.00
3. 12 Volt Power Outlet in the Bed Liner
My Subaru Outback has a constant power 12 volt outlet in the cargo area that I use lots esp. when camping. I found this one at WalMart and found enough space behind the bed liner on the driver's side rear near the tie down. Just below and slightly closer to the tail gate is a stock weep hole in the bottom of the bed. Place a rubber wire grommet in the weep hole to protect your wires from short. The ground wire can be attached to the stock ground stud on the frame near back on the driver's side and the red wire to a constant 12 volt power source. In my case I ran the red wire to a aux.. fuse block that I installed under the passenger side dash, if you are not set-up for this a 15 amp inline fuse under the hood will work. Cost - 12 volt power outlet $12.00, additional wiring and connections $5.00 = $17.00
I not promoting Rust-Oleum paint. It is good stuff and markets a paint specifically for applying directly to plastic. There is a lot that you can do with a can of paint and your cleverness!
Good Luck!
Actually I'd prefer it to be body colored....but I doubt it'll be changed to either color anytime soon
