What color black for grill?

[SirDan]

I've got a 72 dart grill I am going to paint. I'm not looking to go crazy and do it 100% exactly like mopar did. Was the factory closer to flat black or semi glass?

Use SEM Trim Black

This is Satin black, and a couple of months after I painted it.

That's a very good looking car you have TrailBeast, gotta love that color.

The SEM trim paint is a very light gloss, similar to original. I've used it and have been happy with results. I've also bought Wal-Mart $1 flat black and gloss black spray paint, I used the flat as a base and after it dried I gave some very light coats of the gloss until i liked the appearance, in other words until I had approximately 10 to 30% gloss.

some gloss will be easier to clean than straight flat.

I used a satin black on my Duster's grill. It is made by Mar-Hyde. Turned out great!
