Projects Some color advice

My 30 A Cabriolet is Guards Red, white firewall and I want to paint the 32 grille insert. I am looking for suggestions as to what color that I should go with. My first thought is black, but then I was thinking white or maybe an "off" white.

 

Take your pics to the photoshop thread, the wizards over there will guve you as many visual ideas ad you like.

 

The original color was a gray, I believe called dove gray. Black would hide or kill the features of a deuce grill.

 

Need to see some side shots, wheel color, etc.

 

This is what it looks like

 

White, to match your firewall and whitewalls.

You're talking insert itself (not the shell), I don't see a problem at all with black (satin). In fact I prefer it. Just the bars and leave the outline border bright, as is.

Off white. It would accent the whitewalls.

 

Thank you Moose
I think the black looks good, as does the off white. Decisions, decisions!

 

I thought I'd like the off-white, but it looks yellowed being near the white firewall and whitewall tires. Of all those pictured, I like the black ones with the shiny outline, posted above by KoolKat and slowmotion.

 

Here it is with the chrome outline....

 

That looks like what I like! Thanks again

 

Oh yeah!

Spent an hour today and did it. Thanks for the input guys.

 

I thought that I was gonna miss the placque . Damn!

 

With the red, another vote for off white. Wasnt the insert in the Chuck Price roadster off white?

 

Well you're done already, but I would have chosen a matte silver.

 

Looks good to me!
