I forget what I used but originally, I would suggest you contact Scott Smith Harms on MOPARTS.com, he is a big restorer of 1971 Duster/Demons.

Some of the silver paints smudge or are easily marked up when handled, washed, rubbed, etc...

That is part of the reason I picked what I did...so you might want to simulate wear and tear on your test sprays before you paint your grill.

I painted my tail lights with a silver (don't remember if it was Rust-o-leum?) but after 2 years they didn't look so hot and I ended up re-doing them.

Grille is painted.Ended up using rustoleum metallic silver in the 2x line.Looks really good.Not to
shiny

I used the 2X gloss black for the plastic taillight housings. No adhesion promoter either and came out great.

I have used a lot of different paints and under coatings good old rustoleum is as good as any
and cheaper

That's a good source for different color silvers.

I use SEM color coat Landau Black for the flat black. Use it with SEM adhesion promoter and that stuff will stick on like glue. It's like it practically dyes the plastic.
