I don't profess to know the answers on this one (Superbee grills, maybe), but I'm thinking some of the confusion might be what you are calling "dark argent" appears black to me. Faded, low quality black may well = "dark argent". Age and weathering could be why Sinitro's NOS grill looks more black than yours?

Just a thought.

Road Runner had dark argent center, light argent outer edge. Satellite colors reversed. That's what I've seen, and ones painted black don't look right.

I agree with the majority of responses that say dark argent center and light argent outer with satin black along top where attach buttons go. Totally Auto has good stuff that can make a grill look pretty darn nice in my opinion. There is probably other options as well. I restored a '70 RR grill recently using their products (in rattle cans no less). Here is a shot of a bezel.

Thanks Charlie. That seems to be the way to go.

How are the headlight bezels painted? Light argent inside around the headlights- or all dark argent?

Please use 6bbl gt's photos and advise above. No black on a 70 RR grille can be seen with the hood closed, just on top where the 3 push on buttons are. Don't confuse the 70 GTX grill with the dark grille work and silver headlight rings with a RR, different paint scheme. Folks have been rattle canning grilles black for years, does not make it factory correct.

Here is an example of the black paint syndrome, not how they were.

2 questions...
What about the lower center section..

I had heard some folks were able to get a good match with Krylon Fuzion shimmer textured..?

The lower center grille on a '70 roadrunner is not textured. I paint the center grille area satin black and use Totally Auto's 'Grille Silver' for everything else.
