What are the colors of the 68 Road Runner grill. I want to restore my grill and not sure exact color. The top and bottom horizontal bars are clear anodized, that is pretty clear from pictures. The furthest recessed supports look to be black. Its the squares that are hard to tell. They look to be a dark argent, not black. Is that correct?

Yes, textured dark argent on the squares, and their little supports are blacked out.
I have a thread going - or maybe not going, haven't checked yet - on trying to obtain some dark argent...

very interested in following the lookout for the textured dark agent. I bought some in the eighties and did several projects for several people and it was an awesome match! tried buying some off moparts years ago but the seller flaked and decided not to sell. I can't blame him.
