Trim or no trim, need help deciding.
So, I am about 90% sure that I am going to end up painting my 85 w/73 front end flat black, the 10% is gloss black, so either way it will be black. I am thinking of adding the the trim on the back of the cab and also the tailgate band with the flat black paint, if I go gloss black I will add all the trim. My question is, will the flat black paint with the trim look retarded? I will have chrome bumpers, door handles, and some chrome in the wheels. If you do have a flat paint job with those trim pieces peae post a pic.

Re: Trim or no trim, need help deciding.
I would add it either way. I love the look of the trim on the 73-80s.

Do gloss black. It's worth so much more than flat black when you go to sell it. Clean the trim up really well and put it on. Without it, these trucks look a little bland.

Re: Trim or no trim, need help deciding.
If I go flat black it will be just the cab and tailgate. The wheels I am looking at will match the rest of the truck perfect!! I can't attach a pic but they are Boyd Posessed in 20x8.5 and either 20x10 or 20x12 for the rear.

Re: Trim or no trim, need help deciding.
There is a member here that has one painted flat black with all the trim on it. It looks pretty slick. I would definatley to at least the cab trim and tailgate band though.
