Painted 71 & 72 grills With New Paint Job. Whos Done it? Photoshop'rs help

So im about to have my 72 chev painted. i was thinking of doing a dark green, almost black green, and painting the radiator core chrome, then painting the 71-72 style grill the body color green. i have all new brilliant crome grill frame, and headlight bezels. I figured the 71-72 grill is open enough that the bright chrome behind the grill would show through and give some cool depth. what do you guys think?


If anyone could do a photoshop job of a dark green stepside with the grill im describing i would be very great-full.

thanks in advance for any help/ pics!

I like the idea of the grille painted to match the paint. have seen it done on blue and red trucks. And they look really good black so a dark green would look very cool. not sure about the radiator support showing through though because of all the bumps and the radiator in the center.

There is a photoshop section to this board where you would get better results.
