Default White trucks...Step inside

I posted this up down in the south...to make a long story short I got into a wreck(someone hit me) and its looking like ill have a little bit of extra insurance money to get a few things painted. What should I get painted? Grille, bumper, handles, mirrors, ect. Yall post me up some pics of some white trucks so I can get some ideas. Oh yeah its a 2000 rcsb. Thanks

What do most people do with the handles? Paint the whole thing or just the part in the back?

Paint the whole thing. I don't know what you have done already, but I would paint the bumper cap, valance, door handles, tailgate handle/bezel, and mirrors. I personally like white and chrome, so I would keep the chrome front bumper and get an all chrome tahoe grille. If you don't really like chrome, paint the front bumper and grille and white it out. For the rear bumper, you could do like above and paint just the bumper, or you could leave the chrome and paint the plastic pads on the bumper. I would just suggest getting a roll pan though.

Im definately getting a roll pan...you dont think that would be too much white? There's nothing done to it yet except for being debadged and tinted. I guess I just need to see some pictures so I can decide.

Here is a pic of the front end I like, like mine but in white. (ap2002's truck)



I would cut out the holes for the fogs and tow hooks though, even if you don't have either. Of course some clear corners would look good too.

Actually the more I thought about it, I would do some esky handles on a white truck.

Get a pair of escalade door handles off ebay and color match them to the color of your truck. As for everything else it depends what you like more, chrome or color matched. I would say get some pics up here so everyone can get a better idea of what you are working with.
