This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

1969 GS 400 Grill color

Discussion in 'Color is everything!' started by JohnD1956, Sep 10, 2020.

    Greetings. Would there be anyone who has an unrestored 1969 GS grill and can confirm the paint color? I recently secured a re-popped grill and want to make sure before I paint any of it.

    I have this picture from 2008 and I just want to verify that the grill was indeed painted like this from the factory. Of note is the dark grey of the general outside structure and the flat black on the vanes ( for lack of better word) in the rectangles.

    And in a related thought, if this is the correct grill color and pattern, would the area on the headlight doors above and below the headlights also be the same grey color?


    Thank you for any assistance.

    Headlight bezels
    Krylon Dull Aluminum for the silver
    Krylon Semi Flat Black for the black area

    Grille is a Charcoal color similar to what is used on mid 90's Gm Trucks.

    This grille was refurbished correctly.

    Thank you Dave. Looks like the vanes of the rectangles were also painted the charcoal grey?

    No. The vanes and rectangles are black.
