grill paint

[tommie]

any suggestions for grill paint?

looking to paint the factory grill and install it instead of the aftermarket one...

I used the same as for the Rally wheels. Argent silver. Different companies have different products but I found that Dupi-color has a High performance silver that is really close.

I've used the same thing.

I used Argent also on my 73 grill.

I used duplicolor FM149 (in the small cans), similar to duplicolor T122 in the big cans.

With the installation of the grille that means that everything forward of the b pillar on the exterior is done!

Next, it's off to the paint shop for the box, hopefully within the next day or two.

The grille itself was used, purchased from ScottH (thanks again, Scott). I sprayed it with Duplicolor Argent silver (FM149), along with the headlight bezels. I reused his parking lamps and stainless, with the exception of the center bars (new) and I also replaced the stainless around the grill opening.



I repainted my original bowtie while I was at it, retouching the black border around the chrome and then the "gold/yellow" in the center



This shows the center bars, painted body colored (Duplicolor red WA 7475, code 72).
