Default color matching EVERYTHING? good idea?

well im getting a roll pan painted and my mirror caps painted eventually and have been debating on doing the chrome grill cap ( i can't think of the actual name for it right now maybe someone can chime in) and the front bumper also. i dont no if i will end up liking it or not maybe someone can post some pics of the front end painted...

So what are people's thoughts on color matching all these pieces on my truck???

I'm also not rocking those 20's anymore it's gonna be on some titan wheels powder coated gun metal grey.

I installed those sporty mirrors that were color matched, roll pan, and shaved tailgate all color matched. The only thing I left normal was the grille and bumper. I did color match the top cap of my bumper too.

I debated doign the same as you. I say try it out and see how you like it.

Your truck's color is very clean for color matching. Some truck colors I'm not so hot on color matching but with yours I think it would be good. If you can though keep the grill all blacked out and delete the GMC, or if you keep it, color match it to the color of the truck.
Everyone has their own opinions but I think anymore than two colors on a truck is a bit much, and I include chrome as a color. I've rarely seen a car and/or truck color matched that looked bad, so I say go for it!

yea i think the same thing about the color matching also i do plan on keeping the grill black im still debating on the GMC logo though that will probably stay red until i can see everthing else on the truck to decide.

i completely agree with the two colors things too many colors make it look funky and not so clean IMO. i think im gonna go ahead and do everything, its no time soon but will be done by the end of the summer!
