69 Danko grille test fit

[Pogo (Dave)]

First of all, thanks to Gordon for letting me come over and help me with the front fascia removal and test fit of my grille.

The front fascia came off rather easy except for some stubborn retaining pins on top. The test fit went well and everything lined up without any grinding/sanding. Now off to find a paint shop which leaves me to my question... Which color to paint it??? I can't decide between 2 options so maybe you can help with my decision:

A. Paint it brilliant black to match, slats flat black, and argent (silver/grey) coming through the gills in the middle wedge.

B. Paint it argent (silver/grey), slats flat black, and flat black coming through the gills in the middle wedge.

Keep in mind that I am looking at getting some vinyl on my rear fenders (probably the stinger stripe) in the silver/grey color. If I went with option B, I would possibly get the shaker painted in argent as well.

Ben or anybody else that has madskillz with photoshop: ;D
If you could work your magic with the photo's below... It would much appreciated and help with my decision.

Please chime in with a vote and tell me what you think! Thanks in advance!








Nothing was bolted down in the above pictures so I am aware of the gaps. The front fascia was just set on and retained with a few clips for pics only.

B. If your getting the same color stripes.

Either way its going to look sick

I vote A.

do you have a higher quality picture of your front end? Just email them to me to [e-mail]. You don't need to take your wheels off to get the fascia off, unless you were working on something else, then nevermind.

Hey Dave Congrats,

I say A. Paint it brilliant black to match, slats flat black, and argent (silver/grey) coming through the gills in the middle wedge.
but after seeing the photoshop I mat get a better understanding & view. I am sure either would be great. Sounds really good either way.

Mikey, I cast your vote on the poll since I didn't have it up and running before your comment.

Thanks!

Emails sent Ben. I hope you can work your magic on them!
Thanks!

We were following the Charger Forums direction for removal of the front fascia... Thanks for the tip!

Here's my attempt at it. First it's flat black, second is paint matched, third is my poor attempt of silver/grey. lol!!! Hope this helps a little bit. Use photos as a guideline, but not for the real deal. hahaha!!!

LOL Definitely gonna be a guideline! I guess the rabbit left the hat... ;D

Thanks for the attempt, still better than what I can do!

I really think the argent grill / decals / shaker will really set it off.
Unless you really like the clean look i would go with B.

I just dropped it off for paint at Jack Harris in Kaysville. I went with the brilliant black mainly cuz I am still undecided with my vinyl plans. I hope it comes out good and excited to get it back.

Bummer note: On my way back I had to p/u my son from school. There is a lot of construction going on in front of the school but they are pretty much done with it. As I was slowing to make the turn into the school parking lot, I hit something in the road which I didn't even see. I got out of the car and I have 5 pretty nice size gouges/scrapes on my drivers side. I went to the street to see what it was and it was 3 metal rods almost the size of rebar. I don't know where it came from... If it came from the construction or it fell off of someone's truck. Needless to say, I am a lil' bummed out.

Dang! That sucks! Got any pictures of the damage?
