...EVERY restored grill I've seen has a clean taped edge...



I was not referencing grills that were restored to a condition "unlike" the factory examples. Who do you think took the time to "tape" them when they were originally manufactured? They used a template type overlay to cover the areas that were not intended to be painted. If you would like Alan, I can post a picture of the headlight surround bezels (that are 100% original) which also have the exact same paint edge pattern as the grill!
