Doing a resto on my grill. Checked various sites on what silver paint to use. I have Krylon 1403 dull aluminum, seems too bright for a 68. What do you guys think?

I saw the post but there are different opinions. Some say the light color and some the dark. Which is factory correct?

The color I would most likely say is Argent Gray. I know they used that color on 1970 C-bodies anyway.

Not sure about '68 but 69 can be either light Argent or dark Argent. When I do the grills I'm currently working on, I'm going to shoot it, not use a rattle can.
