Which color?
 
Did I waste an afternoon painting the grill, bumper and parking light bezels flat black? I can't decide if I like it but if I do keep it black I plan on doing some flat black stuff all over the truck to tie it all in together.
Here it is originally (white)

And here it is flat black.

So which would you go with?

Personally I like the white better, but I think the black would grow on me. Do you have a different angle of it?

I like the black man, I'd give it two weeks at least just cause you are used to the white.

Naw, just got done and snapped a quick pic. But tomorrow i'm going to color in the recessed letters with red to match the pin stripping and install 2" lowering blocks in the rear and I will post some new pics of diffrent angles then. I do like it the more i look at it but we will see.

How about silver metallic ? Black or white are such a stark contrast, silver would give a little class.

don't throw anything at me - but I like the white. And, personally, I really think it would look even better with the stock white surround (and black background) added in also to the white grille/bumper.

since you're going 180 out from what it came as - I wonder what a black surround with white background would look like??? (Ok, probably like crap - at least the white background part - but I sure think at least a black surround would look good if you keep it black).

And, keep in mind - you asked which I liked BETTER... that would be white - BUT, I do really like the black also - I think it turned out quite nice. And considering truck is custom with some striping, all is well. Nice job.

If this was a Poll thread, I'd vote for white. Just a personal preference and because you asked.

White, it compliments the pinstriping better

White with blue. Now if the truck was silver......

think I like white better as well...to me the black kinda gives the perception of those new coated parts that are awaiting paint...it doesn't look bad, but I like the white better & agree that it compliments your pinstriping

The white looks much better, the black looks less finished.

I like they way it looked w/the white in the 1st pic. I liked the idea of the white parking light bezels also...very rarely do you see them in any other color than stock....looked great.

I did something a little different with my 66 gmc, I painted the grille medium fawn metalic (interior color) and I think it came out looking pretty good. But the most important thing is whether you like it. Not all of us. Kieth
