68 grille paint question.
What color should the area be directly behind the trim hoops? I'm painting the grille the body color instead of white and the front clip I bought had been painted before. I know when I sanded through the existing color white was underneath. For some reason I was thinking those flat areas behind the hoops were a silver tone. Plus, since I have the goops and these other pieces out of the shell, I was wondering if standard rivets would be sufficient to reinstall the flat pieces back in the shell?
Thanks, Danny |

Re: 68 grille paint question.
not an expert but I've read other threads on here and i believe it's silver and possibly some white on 68's. 67 grills are body color.

Re: 68 grille paint question.
That part of the grill is black on mine, and looks like it is original paint. Mine is a Custom, and has the white grille to match the white top.
