Re: 1972 GMC paint ideas

If the grille and surround are dent free with good chrome I'd strongly suggest removing it and replacing with one with dulled chrome, light rust, or dings. The latter two are most common, inexpensive, and totally restorable considering they'll be painted...like any other body part. A good GMC grille is hard to find, sought after, and worth decent coin.

yeah don't worry I'm not destroying a perfectly good grille. I'm planning on piecing 2 grilles together with damage on opposite sides and the chrome isn't great on either. Good thing is if I ever change my mind, my girlfriends dad works at a chrome/polishing shop. He said he could save me some $$$
