White roof paint break lines

[Stover93]

Where are you guys breaking the white from the body color? I’m going with body color a pillars (I think) so I’d guess that breaking the white where the drip rail meets the cab on the underneath side would be correct.

I found a few threads wit some of the info I need. Still a bit unsure of where the paint breaks between the top of the windshield and the drip rail.

Let me know what you figure out. I'd like to know as well, for future reference. I'm thinking about changing mine from 2-tone to one body color, and the cab a different color.

My gut says that if the A pillars are body color then the strip across the top of the windshield under the rail should be as well. It probably doesn't matter that much because it's a pretty thin area and the windshield rubber covers a bunch of it.

That area it always shaded so it's hard to see anyway. At least in photos.

A bit confused by the question. Are you just asking for recommendations? Because if you're painting the a-pillars body color, that's not stock, so it doesn't really matter where you stop. You can do what you want.

Old blue is this way

The passenger side drip rail is funny.

Look at 67 two-tones, they had white tops with body colored pillars. The drip rails are body colored.

Those are neat.

[69Tom]

Those are cool and I have no idea how I never noticed that. I guess I never looked that closely at the 67s. Learn something new every day.

I was also curious where the painter was going to cut the line, looks like he did it same as above.

[Stover93]

That’s it! Mines a 68 but I’m going with the 67 style. Thanks all!

I painted mine a few weeks ago, whatever makes you happy🤠

Hard to go wrong with factory paint schemes, regardless of the year.

Good luck, Rg

Factory 67 two tone

I guess it depends on which year your looking at and maybe the plant at which the truck was built? My is a 69 and was built in CA. It was original paint before I had it painted exactly like it was from Factory. Hope this helps.

Old51sedan....that's a great lookin' stepside you have....I am going with that white roof paint break on my 72 as well.

[RenoKeene]

All the above are correct...
This is a 70 GMC original paint. Painted A pillars up to and over the face of the drip rail.

Here is a previous post regarding the location of the trim for the back of the cab as noted in the factory assembly manual.
