Should I Paint?
Opinions on painting the whole grille assembly white to match bumpers and wheels. Here are a few pics. Any input is much appreciated. Thanks

Re: Should I Paint?
No. I think it would be too much white.
In fact - I'd probably paint the wheels and bumpers argent. K

Re: Should I Paint?
I think you'd end up regretting it later. I'd stay stock on the grille and surround personally.

Truck looks great, leave the grille as is.

Re: Should I Paint?
Leave it as is. You mentioned in a different thread about liking the 69-70 style grille also. That is always an option if you don't really care for the grille you have. You can buy reproductions of all of the pieces required to do it. I prefer the 69-70 grille myself, but I personally would not change your truck. It looks great as it is.

I agree with the rest. Leave it. Of course they do look a little better turned sideways.

Imagine how fun cleaning a white colored egg crate grill would be!

Re: Should I Paint?
Another vote to leave it, I like that color combo, however I find the white grills just seem to be too much brite white in one spot.
