I cleaned real good with wax and grease remover, sanded every side of every square with 400 grit wet. sealed with ppg dplf epoxy primer painter with ppg delstar catilazed enamel They are kind of hard to paint, and it takes a lot of paint, to get good coverage in all the squares, front and back. rattle can wont last, as long but a hell of a lot cheaper. I got about $60.00 in paint and primer on mine, but it should last for many years.

Re: grillin
I don't have a 71-72, but I can tell you the first thing I do when I get a new truck is black out the grill...been doing that since the 70's.
