Radiator core support color?
«

I have been doing some repairs to my core support, and am looking for opinions on paint color. The truck is becoming more yellow as I work on it. I know it is a matter of personal choice, just wondering what others think. I was planning on painting the inside of the hood, inner fenders, etc body color.
So, body color or black for core support? Thanks for your input.

i have seen them body color and in my own opinion .... i do not like the look!!!!
i rather see a clean truck with radiador support and the radiator colored black(flat) this looks nicer imo.

Thanks for the replies, the tires are currently 31-10.50. I figured that black would be less noticeable behind the grill, but yellow would look better on the inside? Maybe the inner fenders should be black too?

The one truck I did, I painted the top plate & the backside Red & the front semi-gloss Black. I kinda liked it, it tied the whole perimeter of the engine compartment together, but looked right through the grille. Just my opinion

Not fair JR, that is too easy. I should have thought of painting the whole truck black, then I wouldn't be faced with all these hard decisions.

Sounds like a good idea, haulin. May be worth the little bit of extra work.

Thanks Hotrod. I did the floor, kick plate, rockers, and cab corners on this one. I sure wish I had found this board before I did mine. It would have helped me a lot. I worked my way through it, though.

Here is my yellow 86. I like the core support black both sides.
(1) Allot less work than two colors.
(2) Black inside ties together with the inner fenders.
