Re: Painting a GMC grille
On a nice grille I'd follow all of Trevor's advice. I wanted to freshen up my'72 grille when I got it back in '01. The grille is dulled and someone used roofing staples to fasten screen behind the openings,leaving little snake bit marks all around there. I scuffed with steel wool,masked,and sprayed satin black and it has held up nicely. I also did the headlight doors,leaving the outer rim chrome,because they had some pitting and were badly tarnished:
