Re: 72 GMC grill paint?
I didn't see any black paint on my grill back in the 1990 date when I first got my truck. were they always painted with black on them?
When I repainted the grill I painted it the way I saw it on the truck.

Re: 72 GMC grill paint?
I can tell you the repro's are flat black. They also flake off. I am going to do my repro with flat black only carefully scuff the Crome this time.
I would say tape off the protected areas and scuff the rest so it does bite |

Re: 72 GMC grill paint?
The factory paint was satin, not flat. Same as all trim like hubcaps, emblems, side trim, '69-'71 Chevy grilles. The two trucks in this thread show the correct sheen. Mine had held up for 17+ years and it's no garage queen. I gave it my own touch with doing the headlight doors.
