Re: 72 Jimmy front grille help
The Jimmy grills are chromed steel. No aluminum. The 71-72 are embossed differently and the raised area was painted black. The black fades over the years leaving a gunmetal type coloration on the grill center. That's what he would like to reproduce.
It does sound like it had a not so hot re-chrome job as the original ones don't usually yellow but I guess they could.
