What is the best paint and color for a 69 Chevy Camaro grill??

Here's a good reference I found when doing research for a build.

Thanks Jordan, now I need to decide what silver to use...

I did a search on what was used on the 1:1 and it seems no one is really sure. The general consensus is that it's an "argent silver", and one guy said that his was painted with Krylon Dull Aluminum. If it's the 1/25 scale kit you're building, I'm sure most silvers would work just fine.

Thanks so much for your help....

The easiest method that I've found ....

I shoot the entire grill with semi gloss black . Once it flashes , I take a medium tipped silver Sharpie and lightly trace the the entirety of the raised portions of the grill .

Remember everything outside the chrome grille surround molding should be painted body color.
