Trivia grill question

[scottryana]

What color should I paint my 55 grill? I was looking at the 55 gallery on Birfield and I saw grills and headlight rings that were black, silver, grey, white, off white, etc. I know that the pewter grey is stock but what color do you prefer? Seems like black is the most dominate color. Pictures are great.

Stock is the silverish grey color, black seems to be the most common repaint and looks nice. I went with purple to match my Clemson color scheme. The Grey and Black are your 2 best bets though.

Silver wal*mart paint. I like it. I think it will look better when I spray it blue and white again.

Kinda depends on the truck. I had a primer gray pig and the black grille looked great. My current pig has the gray/black and fits the truck.

what color is the body?

i prefer gray or silver, but that could change depending on vehicle color

The color is supposed to be Nebula Green and Cygnus White, but I am not sure if the color is right or not.

What about chrome?

Ain't no chrome on a stinking pig! Well, except the mirrors, handles, chrome strip around the roof, indoor handles, window cranks, wipers, ???

What about chrome?

Mine's chrome. Well, mostly rusty chrime.

My 1975 headlight rings are not chrome but painted, well now they are powder coated bright silver. Is chrome or paint stock? Depending on the year?
I don't think the bezel came chrome on a pig.

MIne was silver with a little gold tint to it. It was the same color that was under the bottom back seat. Where the jack tools were.

I found a good Duplicolor that matched it well.
