Re: Headlight bezel paint

I have owned a few 78 models.

The ones that I had I think ? the color was Satin Black.

The Rear Bumper is an Argentine Silver .

Re: Headlight bezel paint

These are the paints I used for the headlight bezel and the grill. You can also use the silver paint for wheels and bumper. I got the black paint at Walmart and the silver paint at Autozone.

SEM Trim Black. It's hard to find for me locally so I buy off Amazon & try to keep a quart and a couple aersol cans on hand all the time because I use it so often.
