That'll look sharp! I'm in the process of doing that to mine as well however, I'm painting the entire front grill white but may paint the 2 inner grill pieces black instead. I've seen a couple pics recently here that made me think it looks much better.

Re: painted my 67 grille this wk end

since I kept the original 292, I thought I'd go OG on it. Im going to pull of the bumpers and repaint the white on them just to clean it up. after I put the grille up to it and see how the red matches I might do the wheels maroon too.

What flavor red rattle can did you use? Son is wanting to paint his truck crimson and that's about as close to the color he wants as I've seen. I'd like to get a can and see if I could have it matched.

Re: painted my 67 grille this wk end

Thanks davidh! I appreciate it. Son has the '67 K10 you're lookin' for. It's all original and we're gonna try to restore it almost to factory original. He's a rabid U of Alabama fan, so the colors will be Crimson and White (instead of the original green....at least that's the plan this week). That red you have is pretty close to what he's been looking for.

(And ya gotta love them 292's!!)
