Hey everybody, I am a proud owner of a 1974 GMC K2500 and am doing a full on restoration on it. Long story short it had a really badly broken grill that i thought was beyond fixing. i looked up a new one and its upward of $140. So I decided to give fixing it a go. I found out that with a ton of jb weld and some bondo fixing these things isnt that hard at all.
So now i need to paint it and dont know what colors to chose, can somebody steer me in the right direction?

I have a 74 K5 and still have the grille from a 73 K25 GMC from years back. The Chevy has chrome around the ring and the grille itself is an argent silver. The GMC grille does not have the chrome ring but is argent silver around the perimeter and the crate is black. I can provide some photos later if you need them. Thanks.
