I would try lots of laquer thinner and a small brush before I would go on it with any kind of blaster. Then sand the rest of the bumps off with sandpaper. Those grilles are extremely delicate. It's gonna be very time consuming to go from textured argent to body color, the other way around is much easier. 
 When I restore Cuda/Challenger, or A body grilles finished in Argent, it's best removed using Laquer thinner, on clean white rags, or brush for tight areas, don't dwell too long with the solvent in one area, it will soften the ABS grill areas/parts,...just work the entire grill until most of the argent is removed, then you can focus on concentrated/or hard to reach areas,...

Yea, it sure does, it also works well to remove plastic from plastic.
These grilles are made of ABS, ABS is more sensitive to solvents and other caustic chemicals than many other types of plastics (The "S" in ABS stands for styrene, ever put gasoline in a foam cup?).
Be careful what you put on that grille!
