Have a few 68 grilles in the shop. Some have the vertical bars silver and some parts they are black. Did they come both ways? Here are two different but with no know history so God only knows how original they are.

I did maybe 4 or 5 grilles a few years ago. best I can remember all but 1 had the leading edge of the grill bars silver.
That's correct Bill, all vertical bars are painted argent silver (dull aluminum) on 68 grilles, 69 grilles were not. When we restore the 68 Charger grilles and all the plastic repairs are done, we paint all the silver first then pinstripe mask all the vertical bars and perimeter before the black is painted.

the same goes for the headlight inserts on the 68s too from what I have seen. Correct.
