I need a clear Upper Moulding picture - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

custom10nut · 02-22-2026, 10:42 PM

As the title says, I’m in need of a clear, up close picture of an upper Moulding from 69-72.
Hear me out here.
Call me crazy, but I’m going to “Recreate” the Moulding, by taping and painting it on my truck.
Yes, I know I could just buy a set and install it on my truck, but I’m looking at a “cleaner less obvious” look.
It’s gonna take a bit of patience, but I intend to measure, position, and recreate the Moulding, by taping and Painting it on.
If I can’t get enough info from a picture, I’ll probably just buy a piece of Moulding, so I can get the pattern
Thanks in advance

Tried a higher resolution, but website won't allow it. I want to see it after you're done.

I’m in to see the finished product as well.

Beautiful, this is just what I need
Of course, I’ll post pictures of the “Finished Product” when I finish

Not sure if you've seen this truck before. I can't remember what site I found the pics on. It's the only one I've seen with painted trim. When comparing the painted trim to actual trim, you can see it's not quite the same. Probably due to cost. The actual trim has more black detail.

I like the idea and have seen it done a few times on show trucks in the past. Pretty sure Chip Foose has airbrushed the "trim" on a truck or two, along with a couple other high end builds.

I'm in to see what your finished job looks like! Good luck!

That looks amazing
This is the end result I’m looking for
