Anyone have a pic of a 69 with a blacked out grill?

[jeryst]

I'm thinking about blacking out the whole grill on my 69 Charger.
Does anyone have a pic of one like that?

I think Brock Samson has an old pic from back in the day with his grille blacked out.

The problem with blacking out the grille is that from 20 feet away it looks like the grille is missing. Like just a big black void. I dont recomend it. 

[bull]

Someone posted pics of one here: http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,62910.msg702740.html#new

I don't like it either but I guess this isn't a poll.

mine from 20 years ago... i think if you do a good job and paint it semi gloss, 'n leave the stainless accents it looks pretty good,.. but to just bomb the entire thing in gloss is a mistake.

NO!!! A 68 has silver painted vertical slats (if done properly) and never looks bad!

Understood.    I was concerned a little bit with where this was heading....

Dont worry Dan,Im fully aware that the 68 grille is the best looking of all 3 2nd generation grilles.............

I am gunna say your biased?    That new project essentially wont have a grille.....

[jeryst]

I was trying to imaging what it would look like if the stainless accents were painted flat black as well as the grill.
Would it resemble a 68?

Stainless. I assume you mean Aluminum....?

I though that they are aluminum, but someone else mentioned stainless, so I though I was wrong.

[Blown70]

Brock, I see mentioned that... the Aluminum does have an anodized coationg... may make it look stainless, trust me that stuff dings easy...... its Aluminum....

Brock mis-typed I am sure.

They are definitely aluminum......I always thought it was dumb how all the the trim on these cars is stainless except for the front where its gettin beat on by sand a road debris all the time.

The General Lees in the 2005 (Knoxville/Stifler/Simpson) movie all had the plastic grilles blacked out.  The crew deemed this easier than collecting enough intact grilles to have it original color.

[TexasStroker]

Well the Charger is already cited, lol. 

I like it blacked out.  If I ever acquire a good grill, or the people repopping them become dependable I might swap the two out and see what I like best.  Imo a blackedout grill only looks good on certain colors.  But in turn I fully support the owner of the car doing what they like best.

Does anyone have a pic of a 68 Grille done the factory way? Thanks
