Re: goldie got a brand new coat

Nice, the Fawn color really looks good on these trucks.

Did the customer request the black behind the grille? The factory white surround with black behind the grille really pops, IMO. Like this...

Re: goldie got a brand new coat

yeah, i agree with the white surround and chrome grill... nothing better.
but somewhere i remember something about the customer is always right. ha.
and since theres no other white on goldie plus with only black and chrome accents, maybe its ok.
i did add a gold pinstripe to break up the contrast a little...

Re: goldie got a brand new coat

I wish my truck was that nice!

I agree, though--couldn't live with that black paint around the grill where the white should be.
