curiousity about 70 Challenger grilles

[wally426ci]

This is purely curiosity, but did someone repop '70 Challenger grilles? i see some with really bright and shiney grilles, which doesnt look original to me.....

like this one

It's not a repop the owner stripped the paint off

I kinda like that look myself...

I like when they strip the paint then reapply the black and leave the stepped section shiny......................very cool effect.  IMO this is how the factory should have done them on the 70 Challenger.  I personally love the recessed look of a 70 Challenger and this treatment of the grille gives the centre section even more depth.

What are they stripping the texture off with?

 I like the chrome and black look also.  Maybe flat would look better than gloss though. A little too shiny.

Maybe even a dark argent would look good with this combo aswell.

When i stripped paint from my 68 dart grille, i took it down to a freind who strips paint from Aluminum. He dipped my grille in a stipper tank over night and it came out looking brand new.
