67-72 gmc grille pics

I'm doing my first gmc (69) after 2 chevys (70+72). I really like the look of the gmc, and I'd like to see how everyone else is painting/plating/powdercoating their grilles. Pictures please?

1968 GMC in PPG Base Coat Clear Coat - Corvette Yellow. I painted it in 1993 but it still looks the same today.....It doesn't leave the garage much.

Larry, that's great! Front spoiler looks good with the same body color. Like that grille.

My 70:


Of course the bumper is a chevy type, but one day I'll get a GMC bumper on there.

Duke 68ss, thats a bit of a bulge sticking up outta the engine bay!! I'm tending to like the body colored grille and front bumper. Did you have yours painted or powdercoated?

Special70gmc....call me old fashioned, but chrome and flat black looks great together. Is the 67/68 grille essentially the same inner portion as the older ones? I removed the upper/hood piece from my 69 (drilled out the rivets) to clean it completely, and the remaining inner grille looks like it could be the same as the early models.
