Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
Haha nah it has never been painted everything on it is factory except for the grille letters I painted them black and gold to match better. It came from the factory with painted cladding.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
Got to really test out the 4x4 tonight my buddy got his Silverado stuck and I was a last resort so I had to go pull him out and I must say the K5 did a really good job and I'm VERY proud of it.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
Got some stuff at Autofair for the K5. I got some new 4x4 center cap decals and two Chevy truck license plates.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
Just a heads up, that body-color stripe in the grill is factory. So when you painted it black, it looks like you scored a grill out of the junk yard off a black truck. At least to those of us old enough to remember them new.
If you don't like the body-color stripe, I'd try a silver just because it'd match the headlight bezels. And if it doesn't match good, you can paint the headlight bezels at the same time. You've brought the truck around well - nice work! |

I'd vote red, just to keep it stock looking. But if you want to use silver, try this: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/VHT-SP186/ A little pricey, but I keep a few cans around for anything I need to paint silver. It works well. |
