68 z28 standard grill colors
« on: August 21, 2014, 01:10:35 PM »
i have a 68 z28 that needs a new grill center section. it is silver in the middle and black on the flat edges. i can order one from rick's 1st gen , but it comes gray and states that it needs to be painted. what colors would that be? argent silver and matte black? any help would be appreciated, or do you know of anywhere i could get one already painted. thanks.

I would use a semi-gloss or satin black, not anything like a flat black. The argent silver would be good for the other part. I don't know of any reproduction '68 grilles that come pre-painted correctly.

Mine is Argent w/ overspray, no black. Upper and lower moldings are black, appear satin like Jon says. I also have an NOS grille that needs painting, kind of a dull blue gray color in the box.

Send a pic of the flat areas painted black if you will - trying to compare which areas on yours are painted.
