I used Rust-Oleum Metallic. Used fine wool pad to sand everything down and used a dremel to clean out any pits. Then a good auto filler from the neighbor and a little more light sanding and sprayed. It actually came very good. Sorry I don't have a close up of mine.

I used Chrysler Argent silver spray paint. A very close match to OEM.( Very hard to find paint, I bought up the last 6 cans out of Chrysler parts warehouse)

From my resto, I think I used some textured Argent from Chrysler. Will have to check. Hidden Headlight GrilleI'll put the refresh of my grille here as I work on it. Not a bad set-up does have a bit of the usual pitting but not too bad and nothing broken.  Did some masking and used Eastwood's Underhood Black.  Added the DODGE emblem, going for a similar look to the 71 style.  Here's the grille surrounds:  Got the surrounds done, still need to polish the chrome, I'm happy with the results. Here's a couple pics.  another    **Edit, after all that I decided to go with the '71 setup.  |

If any body wants to do like the factory on painting the grills is you first polish the chrome
Clean the painted areas
Put your two or three coats of black on
And then wipe it off the chrome areas
