Hi there I an ready to strip and restore my 68 gtx plastic grill which looks to have has been painted black 45 times and was wondering if anyone had close up pictures from an untouched original car?

I know it should be dark agrent with light argent around the edges but need a good detail shot. Also is the argent textured?? or same color as the tail panel but smooth?

Thanks!!!

Bump. Its all ready for paint Help!! want to get this done

I'll get you some pictures from my dads car later today, its not a survivor per say. But it has not been redone and is in perfect condition.

good stuff thanks killer Bee!

I'm going to ask my dad if he had repainted that grill, I doubt he did though. It's tough to see in the pictures bc the car is dusty and inside, but I'll come back later on and make a diagram deal to help you out more.
The paint is not like the rear panel at all, very little texture at all is felt and I would guess thats just bc its a plastic painted piece. Most of it is dark gray and some is a lighter silver. The bars in back are black, but you can see in one picture how the silver/gray has gone up 1/4 of the way on the bar.(last picture)
Basically you would paint from the front the silverish color on the parts that come to a point (very front of the fins). Then I would spray the rest from the back. Not going to be easy, but good luck. But like I said I'll come back tonight with the answer to if my dad had painted these and add some arrows to show the color differences.

Right on thanks again killer bee. Now to find the dark grey paint.
