Title: 68 grille color
Post by: hrlyfxdl on May 30, 2017, 05:22:19 PM
Hi all,
I have read through many different strings on grille color, and I interpret that mine should be black. But can someone tell me what type of black?

I am installing a new grille on my 68 camaro, it will be badged as an SS. So the grille color should be black according to what I've read here. My car has a build date of 07A. I am going to attempt to paint myself, I can find flat black and ultra flat black on HBC. But not sure what flat black. Can someone assist with what color black it should be? Thanks.

Here is a thread on the color.

If you are going to use a rattle can, I think it's satin black.

Hopefully others will chime in.

The SEM 39143 has worked pretty good for the things I painted.  However, on that thread I was talking only about my bezels as my grill is Argent.  I think Sauron was saying the SEM was good for both the grill and bezels though.

This is my grille center, bezels, and upper and lower trim painted with a rattle can of SEM Trim Black #39143. It goes on nice and dries to a nice, even finish.

Looks very nice Dave! Agree satin black is very close to sheen wanted.

When I painted my bezels with the SEM it was spot on to what was already on them.  That looks like "downtown", very nice.
