70 cuda grille restoration proceedure - 02/08/12 02:42 PM
been looking closely at some original production cuda grilles and would like peoples opinions on what they believe is correct.
1-they were painted in med/dark textured argent the same as base challenger grilles?(see pic)
2-the argent was painted first directly over the plastic with no primer?
3-the marker housings were in place prior to painting of the grille?(see pic)
4-the backouts were done after the argent and also the rear top of the grille that is visible when hood is open?
if anyone has original paint front grilles please let me know what they think on this-my opinion is also that replacement grilles and nos ones were painted differently than production line grilles
all the best
