I bought a grille and it came with the headlight bezels but they look like they are from a regular grille, they have a black paint line painted on them.

Are they the same bezels, that I can strip and polish? What is correct? I was able to duplicate the paint as the factory did on the center piece, but I'm not sure what is correct around the headlights. :neutral:

I'm trying to load pictures, but not having any luck, still trying tho...

Another shot, you can see the difference, just need some help from someone that may have an original I can go off of.

you can paint them however you like but they came painted a semi gloss light grey.
the outside portions of the grill would be the same and the fins would be black.
the correct grey match is "mopar muscle wheel" paint,available at your dealer
here's one i restored 3 or 4 years ago..if it loads.

Thanks, I redone the center piece, but figured out that the bezels were off a regular grille, so I'm just gonna do the headllight bezels the same as the center...Thanks Again!
 
that's what I did, just painted the bezels I had to match the grille (I used plain old Krylon 'aluminum' for mine).

 
That looks nice!...did you polish the trim and edge of bezels before you painted them or after?
