Do you guys like this paint color? Its called metallic (or kandy) cobalt blue... Im gonna two-tone it and have gloss black in the middle of the upper and lower racetrack trim (which instead im gonna have a 1" wide metallic silver stripe) and have the metalic cobalt blue around the outside.

Then the roof/backside of the cab windows all around and above the drip rails (its a slider) will be gloss black as well as the visor when i pick one up. I also plan to paint the rims gloss black with a red pinstripe around the outside edge.

The inside of the cab will all be Gloss black but i have painted the dashboard cobalt blue and i have a two-tone color scheme on the bench seat. I will also be painting the dashpad gloss black when i finish repairing it.

I will eventually be putting some old DP on the floor to repair the floor pans and plan on spraying the entire floor with bedliner/sound deadener with the tranny cover being cobalt blue too.

HERE ARE THE PICS OF WHAT I HAVE PAINTED SO FAR***********

Welcome to FTE By The Way!
And, I agree, I would just swap out the '78 Grille for a '73-'77 Grille.

 

What? lol you got the right post?

 

Yes, You have a '78, I don't like '78 Grilles, I was sayin' I agree, as it's my favorite color.

 

Oh ok lol well i personally like the 78 & 79 grilles better than the earlier ones but im slowly but surely liking the earlier ones more and more but only on the F-250<

 

The '73-'77 Grilles don't vary at all from F-100-F-350s.
If you have a '76 F-100 & a '76 F-350 (Hm...That's what I have, What a coincidence )
The Grilles will be EXACTLY the same.

 

Oh i know that! lol i meant I only like the for example the '77 grille on bigger trucks like the F-250's and bigger lol i dont like the early grille on F-150s

 

Easy Roger, give us some time, your 1st post was only 16 mins old when you posted the "thanks for the input" post, looks good

 

my names chris btw and yeah sorry i was just eager to see what you guys had to say about the paint choice!
