Talked with some guy's that have 72 GS's and I hear different answers and also see them both ways . I have a new 72 grille that is silver .Some say it should be black and some say silver .ou: Which is correct or ....................................o No: :gt: Thanx :TU:
Give this a whirl... Bruce, This topic has been discussed before.....here's one of the links...hope that helps....
WOW and still confused....... Brett thanx and yep , I'm still confused . Mine is silver with black honeycomb on the sides . I really don't know the "right " answer on this one . Thanx Brett ...........:TU: :TU:
I thought 72 skylark and GS were the same but the Skylark Custom was different. Two silver and metal and the one black plastic. But I have never owned one and will defer to the 72 experts.
Looking at my grill again I believe it is original in color, though quite faded. It is silver on the edges (outlining) with black in the center. It looks like the grill in this link: http://members.shaw.ca/timcr/components.html
My 72's grille has silver horizontal bars and black only in the boxed in areas on the sides. I know the previous owners and even have pictures of the car that the original owners took. Tom Jenkins
HMMMMMM........ Wow ....... Tom you have any pictures you could post . Sounds like the one I have . I was told mine was a GM replacement that Buick sold over the counter when a new one was ordered or needed in the shops. Interesting .......:Smarty: :TU:
Now I have to get up , put boots on , go to the garage , in the rain , to get the # off the GM box !!!! Sounds like a country song , Huh ?:laugh: Back in a few minutes :Brow:
Probally paint it black later on before I put it on so I won't hear about the silver the rest of my life !!ou: What would you do ?o No: :TU:
paint it I would like my car to be as original as I can personally make it. I think it is more common for the GS to have black horizontal grills. A blacked out grill and air snorkel grills look very good on these cars. I think they stand out better being black. Harder for them to stand out on a black car of course. Paint it is my opinion.
i'm with ya ... I have to agree with you on spraying it black . It will be a while before I put it on but Black it will be . Thanx and take care ..:TU:
What is the correct silver and black paint to use for the 72 GS grille? I remember seeing a website of a member(?) who had detailed pictures he took after painting his. Does anyone have this link? Thank you! Tom Jenkins
