72,73,74 cuda grille color
« on: December 07, 2014 - 09:31:42 PM »
Hi guys, I searched and couldn't find the answer.  I have a 73 grille that I am restoring.  What color is below the chrome inserts and and the fins?  Is it red or orange?  And share a paint code if you have it.

Thanks

Yeah, that's where I'm leaning...funny this doesn't seem to be tackled on the forum here yet, surprised it hasn't been sorted

This has been discussed before on this forum and from what I can remember there was a paint code for the color but sorry I don't remember what it was . . It is in here somewhere I believe . . . .
