How should I Paint my Bumpers/Grill?
 

Ill be honest... I don't know a thing about color schemes and style. I think y'all can help me. I need a solution for my grill and bumpers as far as paint. The bumpers are too far gone and will need to be painted as I don't want to pay for re chroming. The grill MIGHT be able to be polished, but would be nice if I could repaint it. I'm not exactly sure what paint scheme to go with. The body is going to stay white and the interior and bed lining are black. I have included 2 pictures. One of how my truck is now, and one very rudimentary Photoshop of what I'm thinking. My apologizes if its ugly, I told you i don't have style ;) Your thoughts/ideas?

Hey I think the bumpers will look good powder coated satin black or silver the silver will look like a dull chrome from a distance a friend of my had silver painted bumpers on his 66 impala looked good, maybe you could color match the rims with bumpers and grill on the color you, like you definitely need something to break the white here is mine 72 :chevy:Good luck ;)

I'd paint the bumper white and spend some time hand polishing the grille.

The base truck front bumper was white and a matching rear could be ordered as well. If it were me I'd just bring it to a stock look like this 69 here.
That applies to the bed as well from the factory it would have been white inside. Freshly painted it has a very clean look.

What Tim said, it looks sharp.

Re: How should I Paint my Bumpers/Grill?
 

X3^^^ That looks really slick!.

Re: How should I Paint my Bumpers/Grill?
 

Man. That's pretty slick. I will be painting it myself so it won't be perfect, but I think that is a great idea. I appreciate all the ideas guys! Thanks!

This one gets my vote too...

Also I painted my bumpers with Krylon white spray paint. Prep and prime everything well, and it's pretty durable. Easy to touch up if needed too.

I mocked it up a bit

Hi,
You know you can get chrome repo bumpers for around 150 or less, that look real nice

Re: How should I Paint my Bumpers/Grill?
 

Yeah I definitely looked at that as an option but I have a little paint experience and I can paint those bumpers with a rattle can for $20-$40 and it will look great.

Hey Tim, what brochure is that from? I'm not familiar with that pic.

Re: How should I Paint my Bumpers/Grill?
 

Its a '69 promo brochure. Don't recall any specifics but here is what I have of it.

Re: How should I Paint my Bumpers/Grill?
 

Ss Tim's brochure picture looks awesome. Could gloss black it all out also.
