Krylon Semi-Flat black for the black and Motormaster Radiant Silver for the grille. The silver is brighter than original but I really like it.

That estimate is fairly conservative as well. That's one of the reasons I do my own work. I haven't perfected it yet, but I get closer with each car I build.

Well, I've considered doing my own work but its too rusted for me to do. It needs a new rear frame rail, new torsion bar crossmember, etc etc.
