panels behind grille - '68 barracuda

I posted pics of my 67 fish core support before. One can see there was no masking effort or completion in any direction. They just shot a little black on the area that would be seen through the grilles. I never like seeing body color through the grilles but... I have seen body color on the normally argent color portion of the B'cuda grilles and that looked pretty good. This made the chrome outer edge look like a separate piece of trim applied to a more complete body/header panel. Also suggests that their flat argent on all was simply the less expensive route.
