69 inner grill gray paint source?
 
Tried searching this but had no luck. I'm looking for the best shade of gray/paint brand to freshen up the inner grill on the 69 wrecker. It's a gray color now which is probably molded into the plastic but faded and weathered. Want to make it look like 1969 again! :D

Any suggestions?


Thanks,

I think it's called Argent Silver. Probably better to get a pint of acrylic or urethane enamel mixed at a paint store. They can add satin to it to kill the gloss some too.

Anyone else actually tried painting one? I'm interested in the technique too.

With all the 69's on here, I'm surprised not much response to this.

I used to think they were black until I got my wrecker. That is definetly gray but weathered so I'm not sure of the correct shade.

I've got all kinds of gray/silver paints on hand; detail gray, cast gray, rally wheel gray, stainless steel, on and on and on but all are a little different from one another.
