Hot Rods Grille color for a Red Oxide painted Coupe

Chrome it. Chrome goes with everything!

 

Yeah, chrome...one tooth at a time.
There was a song...

 

hahahahahhahahha

 

Naw NO CHROME on this one Matter of fact no new parts

 

i still think orange grill insert and wheels would look good with red primer. HRP

 

I was waiting for the primer-ratrod police to pick on you. But after you shared your pic in post 17, I think just finish the whole car in BLACK.
Maybe chrome just grille insert, body looks pretty much ready to paint.
BLACK will never go outa style & that car & chop is SICK.

 

I remember back in the early 80's the recreation of the '32 sedan Eastwood & Barakat build and although the grill was white the rails were orange and the body was red primer,I think it made for a good clean hot rod look.

Should give you a idea how well the orange insert would be a good contrast. HRP

 

BTW,I have always been a guy that's likes red primer,hence the moniker HOTRODPRIMER! HRP

 

While not a cool hot rod like yours, I like the red oxide with a sort of off white. This is stuff we got from the hardware store, its called biscuit. We car going to paint the roof the same color this weekend. The pictures actually makes it look more white than it is. I think your grill with matching wheels would look good this color.

 

Red on red works for me...........

 

Off White, heaps of contrast. They look great red oxide with white grilles.

 

White. Wheels are white grille would look nice also

 

Black primer body, red oxide grille..

 

Gloss black

 

Interesting response,the OP never ask what color to paint the car,that decision was already made. HRP

 

Correct he did not. My response Mr. HRP was gloss black grill for his oxide paint.
When did I mention anything about body color to him?

 

Excuse me,as I was reading I assumed you were replying to the previous poster..Gloss black..you omitted grill.

No offense intended. HRP

 

No worries, didn't want you to think i would change it, I really dig that color he chose. I think a glossy black would look great on it and would go with his frame and such.

 

Very nice looking Unibody.

 

I just imagined doing a primer red car, and I could only think of gloss black or gloss yellow or gloss brown.... but in my head, I imagined a car with steel wheels painted to match.
Might have been easier to imagine other colors, if the car was a gray or black primer.

Try borrowing a paint chip set from Home Depot or other paint store, and hold the chips up to the car??

 

Grey lacquer primer. Then when it starts to get chipped, you can wipe it off with lacquer thinner and redo it.

 

I like charcoal grey.....

 

Just painted the grille BLACK thanks for the comments

 

pictures or it did not happen

 

I'm putting grille shell together today. Pic to follow......................

 

Since when and exactly when did primer become a finish?

 

Here it tis....................... Body coming home this week or next. Assembly begins..

 

Looks good, look forward to seeing the car all put together.
