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?

Would it be too taboo if I did paint it light gray?

Paint it any color you like, but if your looking for the correct application, body color grilles had color keyed lower valance inserts as a general rule, I'm sure there were exceptions on the line though

I think it gives the car a bit more character. It breaks up the color and kind of ties in with the gray D shapes in the grill.

Here is a picture of my Challenger so you can see the Billet paint as a reference.
I want to use the PSC paint code Billet gray on the front valance filler and the D shapes in the grill. I think it is a fairly close match to the light argent gray and it would tie both of my cars together.
What do you guys think?
