Correct RT grille paint?

I'm wanting to refinish the metal part of a RT grill and the headlight bezels to look original, shouldn't they be semi gloss black? any brand or type of paint better than the others? I was thinking about SEM trim paint maybe.

I'm taking a guess here, but I think you want semi-gloss paint(satin) on your grill/bezels. I have the textured organisol on the hood of my pretend T/A. I haven't seen that on the grills.

This belongs to someone on the site. I forget who. It is a very nice grille done properly.

The whole grille is made from alluminum. The center egg crate is just clear anodized alluminum. It was not black on th R/T's. The black is a semi-gloss.

I have original sales brochures here that shows it non-painted. I think it can look black at a distance due to being backed up by a black radiator.
