How to Best Restore a Grille for 69 Dart

I originally used aircraft stripper to clean mine up and left it unfinished for a while (see pic 1).

But then finally found time to paint it. I preferred to go with a more blacked out version (2nd pic) as opposed to original that is on my buddies car on right.

I used satin black and argent silver. Heres my restoration link (#73) with some addtl info:

Hope this gives you couple ideas. Doug
