What part of 70 Cuda Grille is Blacked Out?
« on: January 15, 2006 - 07:06:25 PM »
I need to know what is blacked out in the 2 inner center sections. I've seen it but never took pictures and wondered just what should be painted black all of the center section or just the grille bars if you follow what I mean as you could paint all the outer area next to the grille bars also. If anyone has a picture that would be great.

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. ;D

This is my winter project also, does seem like the only thing blacked out is the center part.

Here is mine; I just took all the parts off, but I don't know if it was ever repainted or not.
You can print them out and stick'em together.

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.

I painted my whole grill argent and I masked the center sections off and sprayed them black today. I got it demasked and everything put back on the car except the headlight bezels. They will go on Tuesday and here are a couple pictures of the grille. Thanks for the help with how to paint the center sections.
