White 4000 Help

[fish]

Hey Guys !

I've been working on a White 4000 resin conversion and I need some input.

I will be painting some parts in the next few days and I cannot determine (from pictures on the net) exactly what color the grill is. Is it painted (white or silver), or is it an aluminum, stainless or chrome piece ? Did it depend on the year of the truck ?

Anybody know for sure

Thanks in advance.

I was looking at those too Jerry and those are definitely painted, but in other pics I've found they look like they are bare aluminum or even polished/chrome. It is soo hard to tell at internet resolution. I would like to do a chrome or aluminum, but don't know if it was availble. Maybe I should flip a coin. ;D

These are some of the pics I found.

I would probably go with aluminum. I did a 9000 a while back and hit it with Testors aluminum and also a 4000 that I did with Alclad.

G,day , i've just got in from a vintage truck show and the grille on a 9000 there was made of fibreglass , i was suprised as lookin at the photos i thought it would be made of some sort of tin or aluminium . Most of the grilles in oz are white , when i get to put the photo's of todays show on photobucket i'll put the link in the show section .

Thanks for the pics crashalot2, those will help with some details.

Scummy, that would be great it you could post some pics of the 9000 from the show you went to.
