Hey Dennis

Hey Dennis or any other person who can answer this but what is the correct color to paint the grill?

 

[Mil1ion]

The BBQ grille ?

Ford calls it Paint Finish = aluminum.

what ever color you want it

Nope I want the factory color. I can't see painting it different

You talking the grille shell or the grille inserts Cliff? The shell is just anodized aluminum...and you'll have to go through that stripping process we talked about if you want it to shine. If you're talking about the inserts...I believe the color is argent.

Yeah the inserts are what I was asking about

That's what part I posted about.
Ford calls it Aluminum
(Edit:for 73-74 it says Shell only) whatever that means


Argent came later in 1975

I'll post the reference

i always thought it was called argent...

 

[Mil1ion]

argent is french for silver.

Ford calls it argent because it is a special colour argent.

thats interesting, before i learned it was called argent, i called it silver...

Looks like we are both right.I know this is for wheels but I guess it can be used for grill.
