Correct black on Challenger R/T grill?
« on: December 20, 2007 - 12:51:14 PM »
I disassembled my grill, am having it bright anodized, and would like to repaint it the correct factory black. Anybody know what that might be? Thanks.

I did mine with Organasol Black. I have been told it was just semi flat black though. Mine is close enough for me so I won't tear it apart to do it over.

I believe the black paint is semi-gloss, or satin. Pay attention to the pic Rare_T_A posted. The two inner ribs are left bare.

I cannot recommend a paint to use, but here is a photo of an untouched original. Try and match it the best you can;

I need to do the same thing, and I have asked on here before:  Exactly which areas are painted black on a 70 R/T grill?  I see some with black eggcrates and some without and different areas black and others bright.  Is there any guidance out there as to exactly what is painted black and what is not? Were there different variations from the factory? Thanks in advance!!  :bananasmi

The egg crate is NOT painted. The back two ribs close to the egg crate are not painted either. The same goes for the headlight covers where the lights go. That area is not painted either. If you look close at this pic ( you should be able to enlarge it some ) you can see the area on the covers that are not painted. This should blend in to the leading edge of the grill. The part that fits under the bumper is not painted either. The 3rd pic shows it kind of.

Thanks!  That pretty much agrees with the picture Barry posted above.  I have a new headlight cover in the box for guidance there. 

Another question: If I disassemble my grill, where do I get the correct rivets to reassemble it?  Thanks again!  :bananasmi
