i think the gold will look ok i think it will be more of a dull brass colour
ever considered plasti dip for the gold on the lettering ?
from wat i understood you spray on a couple of layers and the pull of the stuff around the script if it doesnt look good you can pull the rest off as whell

i found a couple of youtube clips of the aplying of the stuff..... it seems you need a pretty scharp edge on the sprayed item to split the stuff you need to pull off from the stuff that needs to stay allso i dont know if it comes in other colours than black

I think it will all depend on the shade of gold you are talking about....if it's bling bling 24K gold I don't think it would look right but a darker toned down almost brassy looking might not be bad.

[67cheby]

LOL, no bling ,bling gold, just a painted gold ! a little darker than the anniversary gold

[es67chevy]

And this is why all our trucks look different! We all have different opinions of what looks good! You rock the gold, Mike! You rock it!!

[67cheby]

I will try the gold on the trim and see , if it doesnt work i aint to big to say i screwed up ! I used to work part time for a body guy and his motto for me was "YOU CANT SCREW UP ANYTHING THAT I CANT FIX !" LOL, so we will use that approach !

here is an example of what I think you are doing with the moldings?
wood bed kit color?

Here is a good example of gold color working pretty well with the theme of this local truck here in south florida.

[67cheby]

yep , you got it

The wood bed and wheels tie it all together.....nice truck and it was the one I was thinking about when I first read about the gold.

LOL, i like to hear everyones opinion ! The gold in the trim is one thing i have always loved on the early square body truck (not sure exactly what year)

[1stchevy]

After seeing what you have in mind I think it'll look good, go for it!

I vote yes gold, but subtle and satin. It says "nothing on this truck went untouched"

I think it will look sweet!! But only if you get the gold bug deflector and gold valve stem caps, preferably the dice, dont let the haters bring you down bro! Ive been telling people that drinking hatorade has adverse affects in life, but they just keep on drinking! Smh
