Photos of grill surround

Does anyone have any photos of a grill surround that is painted a different color than the rest of the truck? Preferably without the grill installed. I am looking to show the painter which part need to be white, which part needs to be body color and which part needs to be black.

I used blue vinyl fine-line tape to get a clean edge.

Re: Photos of grill surround

The grill surround as you call it was silver then shot with purple candy mixed with silver flake. Then shot with Rootbeer candy, the third picture is what it looks like in the sun. Fourth pic also shows the candy bumper and it unmasked. The last pic is real sunshine.

The stripe is how the engine bay and surround areas look.

Re: Photos of grill surround

It looks a little different at with different lighting, and different cameras.
