Re: GMC - Painted grill vs chromed/anodized

It could look good if done right. i thought about doing white on a 71/72 grille everywhere that is chrome, use the black accent, keep headlight doors and surround in chrome. That was to look "as factory" on a 71/72 as they did in earlier years. I like the use of gunmetal metallic in certain applications, as well as other carefully chosen colors. But I don't like monochromatic unless it's a full custom job done right...like a black with traditional flame job
