Paint to match body side moldings? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So over the course of looking for a truck there were a couple that had the big side moldings with the wood grain center. I was curious as to what those moldings would look like with the center painted to match the body color. The wood grain seems odd to me considering theres no other wood grain on the outside of the trucks. I searched around for pics of them painted but havent come up with any yet.

They made them with black also. Don't know if I've ever seen any painted body color, but I think it would look ok.

Yep they came in woodgrain or black only. The 67/68s are the only ones that had anything other than black and that was the GMC with a red strip painted in them. WES
