Satellite & Belvederes had silver paint; Road Runners got a dark argent & black details. The same grille FITS them, but is not correct. I recall years ago that the repop grilles were nice, the textured argent was similar but not exact, and the rivets used for the brackets differed from OEM. My comparison was the untouched/original cars I owned at the time. Bummer that the dark argent is hard to find, maybe a supplier change or something. I agree with the above. I had this issue a few years ago. I bought a NOS grille and my NOS headlight bezels came from two different sources. One bucket was the lighter argent and I found out what was said above; the colors were different for different models of cars. At the time, I bought the dark agent textured paint from Totally Auto to pain the bezel but, the color was not right and their can sprayed horribly; I had to get a different tip from another paint can to get it to work right. Some suggested Krylon Textured Shimmer paint which is very close. I ended up using both paints; just a dusting of one (I can't remember in which order I did it) but, the end result came out very close but not exact. I can't even notice it with the buckets on the car but, if you put them side by side, you can notice. Fortunately, the bezel that needed painted had very little coverage on it to begin with so; I was able to match the texture of the other bezel. I picked up the Krylon paint at my local Sears.
