How to Best Restore a Grille for 69 Dart
I used gel paint remover on the black that I painted on mine years ago and then I used regular paint thinner to remove the silver paint. Then I used thinner to clean the whole thing. Then I spent a LOT of time taping using fine line tape and masking tape. I painted the black first using Rustoleum semi-gloss black. Then the silver I used was Mopar Performance Argent Silver wheel paint. You can also use dull aluminum. You can also use semi-gloss black engine enamel. I used that on my hood louvers and Dodge emblems. I used my fingernails to scrape off overspray and anything that went under the tape because the tape didn't stick good in some spots.
