Here's how my Charger grille turned out. Right or wrong, I use Totally Auto's grille silver paint.

I'm restoring my grille too and I cant find any paint similar to the silver...I'm going to the auto parts store tomorrow..even though I've heard the Totally Auto silver is abit off....I dont care...if its there I'm gonna buy it. My grille is like this right now...

Hey 69bronzeT5 thanks man.  For the silver i used Totally Auto's "Grille Silver" paint.  Some people don't think it's a match to the original paint but I think it turned out great.  It has a slight texture to it.  For the black I used Plasti-Kote's "flexible" bumper & trim #1895 semi-gloss for plastic and metal bumpers and trim. It says flexible but it dries hard.  I could've used others but I used what was available for me at the time and it turned great.  The semi-gloss black for plastic I got at PepBoys Auto Parts.  There's also a matching adhesion promoter that can be sprayed before the black.  BTW, VERY cool Randy pics in your avatar.   :2thumbs:  I'm a drummer and also play guitar.
