Radiator Support Color? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I painted mine black because I thought it was original, but I have have seen some painted the same color as the vehicle. Did the radiator support come from the factory the same color as the Blazer/truck, or were they all black from 69-72?

They wer a dull black.Not flat,but more like matte.I`m sure it`s available elsewhere,but Eastwood sells an "underhood" black.The same as the inner fenders,battery box,radiator hose,motor brackets,etc.Supports painted to match look good,it`s a custom touch.

Agreed, and color matched is just a personal thing, some people just prefer it

Factory black.

I used SEM satin finish on mine and it looks correct.

Good... I painted mine with satin black rustoleum. This is an old picture from when I replaced my grill.
