Re: 1972 GMC paint ideas

That's good, cuz the cost of chroming one is prohibitive for most. It can be stupid expensive. I have a white '72 K2500 and the grille is dulled...and the p.o. used roofing staples to hold bug screen behind the openings. I removed all that and you only see the wholes up close. I have a perfect grille to replace it with, but in the mean time I have pondered painting it white...like the basic trucks had in 67/68 (and back). I'd still do the black accent and keep the surround chrome. It would look good I think.
