72GS grille (what color ?)

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:

 

Here's a pic of my 72 GS 350 parts car/possible drag car...

 

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

 

Thanx Everyone ...... I got it now !:Smarty: :TU: NOT ....

 

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.

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:

 

Here is a quote from Duane

 

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:

 

I'm back with the # 9608381 . Silver with black out on the sides .:TU:

 

What will you do next?

So have you bought a can of black paint?
Or are you gonna leave it as is?

 

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!
