Years ago when I painted my silver area on the complete grill, I went with the one very popular restoration paint (can't remember name), still looks perfect. However, I spent extra $$$ for the painters masking tape, the one that won't peel off the paint when you remove it, big mistake. I got a third of the grill taped and the first area started coming off. It's a tedious job but someone has to do it. Good luck
