Painted Grills?
 

After seeing alot of truck with the original grill it made me want to take off my billet and go back to the old. has anyone color matched there grill?

Re: Painted Grills?
 

Kind of...My whole truck is less than perfect so even though I painted my grille..I wanted it to match.(Less than perfect.) I just put this on the other week. I wasnt sure about the mesh but I think I'm going to keep it. I painted it with a "Black chrome" kit from duplicolor. Honestly the paint didnt turn out the way I had hoped but It ended up matching. It looks like its seen some miles. Just like the rest of the truck. Hope this helps.

seeing how your truck looks with a black grille and headlight bezels I just might put the 79 trim back on my blazer seeing as how it's going to be black

Mine looks almost identical to 81C10 but I left the symbol gold. used the same flat black I used on the rest of the truck. It gives it a pretty agressive look

Light bronze metallic, iirc---pops. It's the original color from 82.

My original one was broken and faded. So i went to the junk yard and picked up one with a good emblem, and painted it. Base clear in rattle can, gm silver and black. I chose black because the upper half of my truck is black, rather than grey, which its supposed to be.

sweet looking truck man! I have a 86 GMC like yours, and I was planning on painting this summer, I think I will do something very similar to yours. That is if you dont mind?
