INTRODUCTION
We picked up a 2000 Grand Cherokee not too long ago. This generation of Grand Cherokee's seem to have a common problem with fogging headlights and personally, I've never been a fan of the chrome grille/overlay installed on these Jeeps. I wanted to update the look of the Jeep so I decided I would paint the grille to match (similar to what the Limited models have) and at the same time replace the worn out factory headlights. Here's how I did it.
PARTS
I ordered the factory paint color from the
local dealership. I purchased two 5oz cans. I used a white primer to
contrast with the color I was using and at the end of this project, I
barely had enough to finish. I easily could have used 15oz of factory
color but was able to finish with my original quantity. Another color
primer might not have soaked up as much paint, but be ready to use more
than two of the small cans the dealer has available.
