69 z28 silver grille paint
 

Has anyone in here painted an NOS black grille the correct silver?

I have done silver to black for an SS Chevelle and used SEM Landau Black.
But this time I need to go Black to silver for my z/28.

Was hoping to find a spray bomb paint that replicates this the best.
Any got a remedy??

Thanks :beers:

I did mine a number of years back using Eastwood Argent Silver. I would say it turned out good.

Gonna be hard to find a decent spray bomb. Just not that durable.

So you used the PPG color code 3568 did it in single stage PPG Omni?

Your grille color looks great!
I have a body guy who can shoot it. I need to paint the outer part of the grille anyway.
I also need him to paint the grille stiffener.

I did the same thing with my 69 Z-28 grille. Turned out well also.

Yes. I know the original was lacquer, but figured the urethane would be more durable. Yes, singe stage Omni. I realize Omni isn't the top of the line, but being urethane, it will still be more durable than lacquer.

AU Omni is single stage urethane and is quite durable too. May be easier for your painter, if he isn't familiar with enamel.


I've used the Eastwood Argent Silver on wheels and it is a decent paint, but the Omni would, in all likelihood, be a better and longer lasting product.

You could have a SEM spray can mixed for the PPG 3568. Here is a Daytona Yellow one I had mixed that I did a grill and stiffner with. Have used alot of these for certain things and always work great. Usually around $25 depending on color.

So can you get this at a local auto body supply and have them make that up?

If so, I may try that. Thanks everyone for all the input. It is greatly appreciated.

Looks like FinishMaster or Auto Value may be your best source for SEM custom mix.
