Hi Folks, I am ready to paint my 1952 GMC long bed 1/2 ton pickup. The front sheet metal had been removed and media blasted when I got the truck, so I'm not really sure what color to paint the grille parts. The truck will be Brewster Green, and I was thinking of shooting the grille and grille ends in black, and the "horseshoe" in green. I'd like to stick with colors that are "correct" or at least "period". Can anyone provide photos and paint codes? Thanks, Tom cool

Thanks Randy, Looks like the grille should be white or cream colored; anyone have a paint number for this color? Also, should the hood strip be body color? Should the GMC emblems be white/ cream as the grille? Thanks, Tom

Take a look at my GMC on my Webshots album. I can get the code for you if you would like.

Hi Phillip. Nice looking truck! I'd appreciate the paint code if it is no trouble. Tom
