Re: [Chevelle-list] 70 SS GRILLE/and grill paint in general
I'm replacing the grille on my '71 Malibu. I have a replacement from Year One which is a gray plastic, but I would like to paint it the original silver color. I have the original grille to try and match the paint , but I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get the correct paint? It also has some areas blacked out, where the screw mounting holes are. Also, how should the grille surface be prepared for painting? Should it be sanded with a fine sandpaper to scuff up the surface? Is there a primer that should be used? Thanks for you help.

The Concours wagon got a third grille (#3907432) that was open like the SS but had trim mounting holes like the Malibu.

Re: [Chevelle-list] 70 SS GRILLE
Since we are on the subject of grilles, I know that the 69 SS grilles were black matt, but the end of those grilles were they black with the Silver outlines like the Malibu or were those ends black also like the interior grille Thanks Joe P. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: chevelle-list@chevelles.net Sent: Tue, 24 Apr 2007 10:15 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] 70 SS GRILLE They were all silver, SS grilles were painted before installed on SS cars.
