Yes, anodized aluminum. Here is one I restored for a '69 Charger 500. (same grille/bezels) I believe that grille is being reproduced.

Yep, the bezels should have the black removed from the crosshatch pattern.

Bright crosshatch/mesh pattern on bezels for the '68 coronet line. The bright unpainted crosshatch was painted black for the '69 Charger 500 model......
