Black grilles? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Please post pictures of black grilles/bezels. Whether all black or just a part of it black. I'm debating doing it to my 88, but I'm not sure if I want to do the entire thing. Thanks, Bradley

82 stock grill and chevy emblem painted black with 3/4in chrome side molding across the center to break up the black. Total cost $20.00

Did mine 3 years ago. I need to touch it up a bit though since it's got a few scrapes and chips in it.
Before.

After.....

May have it sprayed with bedliner next time

Thanks, I'm not crazy about stock grills but I figured it wouldn't hurt to try it out. And it helps that my truck is black too.

black grille/push bar

chevymotocross · 07-11-2011, 09:39 PM

J Knight.... that 82' grille looks fantastic! Makes the chrome pop out! Much better looking than the 85-87 IMO

J Knight · 07-11-2011, 10:34 PM

Thanks CMX, I figured whatever I did wouldnt look worse than I got it.LOL

Jamie McDavid · 07-11-2011, 10:59 PM
