1969 GS Grill Color(s)

Restoring a 69 GS front grill. Is it all black or black and silver? If black/silver a picture of where the silver goes would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

 

No argent in there?

 

I beg to differ with you on that one Jason.

This has been discussed before.

Mr Tumas is correct.

 

He should not doubt me on a 69 Grille. One of my resto's is on the Motion car.

 

Dave- I know. I think Jason is just bored with those “everyone wants one” 70 yellow cars. Lol

 

Interesting discussion and much appreciated.

Dave, would have additional information on the charcoal gray? Is it available in a rattle can? Would also appreciate a better pic of that restored grill. Hard to see the detail in that pic. Thanks

 

I will get you some better pics. The argent silver is a charcoal grey. Not sure about spray cans. I have always used automotive grade paints on my restorations.

 

come back to the dark side Jason 68-69

Just to clear things up about the charcoal grey. Here are pictures of the original grille in my 69 convertible project.

 

Now for pictures of how the grille gets taped. The yellow tape shows the areas to remain black.
I placed the tape over the fins just to show the areas that need to be taped.

 

Finally some pictures of the grille in my car.

 

Usually pretty faded too.

 

Thanks Dave. This was very helpful. Any suggestion on the grey? Do you know of anything close in a spray can?

 

I plan to go to the stores and look for something in a can that is close.
