Ivory bumpers and grille

I have been playing around with paint colors since GM called the "white" an Ivory. Since I wasnt around in 1965 to remember what it looked like I have used an old hubcap, the lettering on the tailgate and the grille on my unmolested truck. I have found Krylon's Gloss Ivory shot over Dupli Color white primer and looks very very close.

I had to do something to the bumpers I had, they just looked like crap. Here is a before and after...... What do you think?

Grille isn't done yet, just the front bumper.... I will do the grille and surround next
