5$ 1978 grille facelift/refurbish!
figured id share my 5$ grille re-modeling on my 1978 k20.
2 cans of MIRACAL premium aluminum silver paint(cheap dollar store stuff) 1 can of MIRACAL gloss black paint(cheap Dollar store stuff) and some masking tape from my G-ma haha. I removed the bowtie and strips,washed it and dried it,took quite a while to spray the entire thing the silver evenly nd get all nooks and crannied, taped off and re-painted the black in the strips. and painted the Yellow bowtie black.(dark maroon and black truck)Whats your opinions on the black bowtie? i didnt like the yellow.any opinions welcome  What do you all think?!  and heres a neat picture i took today.looks like a bomb from Laughlin(or vegas,same direction) haha.
