I am painting my 1971 'Cuda in-violet purple and the front grill body color except inside the D shapes.

Should the front filler piece between the lower front valance and the front bumper be painted gray?

I have seen some painted black but I think it would match the unpainted parts of the grill better if it where that light argent gray.

What are your thoughts?

Anyone have any pictures?
