70 Challenger Front Grille Paint Colors & Codes?
« on: February 13, 2010 - 03:20:51 PM »
I have seen 70 Challengers with a silver grille and flat black surround (red ta) and with a black grille and silver surround (blue rt) and was wondering which was factory correct and what the paint names & codes were. 

Would also like to know the paint name and code for the red ta.

Thanks, Charlie

Here are some pictures of the standard grill in silver.
The red in the picture is probably FE5 Rallye red

Black for R/T models & T/As.

Argent (silver) for the rest.

The T/A is FE5  - red.

My grille is silver (standard 318 model), I'd like to paint it black to match the R/T theme of the car.  Any shots of how it should look in black?  Should I paint the grille part as well or just the part that is argent now?

I used SEM Trim Black paint for the R/T grille

Did you paint directly over the argent or did you take off the argent surface first? If you took it off, how'd you remove it?
