grill paint color ideas for the 67

[prg machine]

I was thinking of bdy color for my 67 grill................but got to thinking about doing it in white. Can someone post a picture of the front of fender paint color transition line when painting the grill white. I know it covers part of the front of the fenders but I am not sure where the line transitions in that area.
and could some kind soul photo shop my truck with the white grill so I can get an idea.................this is it before the recent wreck that I am now repairing.

I agree for the 68, but the 67s had no trim.

The 67's never came with that area white either, so Andy is right. Not saying you couldn't do it, but it won't be correct, so there is no definitive line since it never existed from the factory. I'd think it would look best where the sheet brakes on the fenders and on the front of the hood which is where the trim is on 68's.

Now I understand.................the 67s were all body color only and no white grilles until 68????

Correct, but on some, the grille molding [and sometimes headlight bezels] was painted a contrasting color. Orange truck may have a white contrast trim. A white suburban had dark blue trim rings. Also the tailgate letters were the contrast color.
In '68 the anodized aluminum grille molding rings came on line. That became the universal replacement part for both '67s and '68s.
My '68 stepside came with a white face. I got a '68 front grille for my '67 Sub [after a Bambi-bashing] off a '68 Sub that had a silver face on a med metalic blue truck.

You don't have to always follow the rules. I did some white with chrome

Here's how my 68 used to look. I almost went back with this theme with the repaint, but decided to go body color with the bright trim work.





With the new paint.

Wish my stepper was as sharp as those above. Here's a repaint all same color as the body, even light surrounds:
