News:
I have two grilles... both have the entire center sections in flat black. Vertical bars, horizontal bars and the perimeter, including the bezel mounting section. Some of the perimeter has argent overspray on it. Also, the vertical bars that extend upperward to the top edge of the grille: the front edges are black. Hope that helps.
What I can tell is the whole thing was sprayed argent, then the grilles where painted a flat black. You can feel the argent under the black, it is not smooth. Kinda looks like a factory job, very quick and sloppy.
