Title: grille & headlight bezel restoration
Post by: jrbarrie83 on June 05, 2013, 07:24:18 pm

My '83 Silverado came from Georgia and was on a farm, so needless to say, it saw it's share of sun and heat.  The grille is original - split by a center body-colored & chrome stripe.  I would like to do a mild restoration of the rest of the grille and the headlight bezels, but I don't know what they were originally?  Were they "chromed" plastic, or were they painted.  If painted, what color - silver, gray, black?  I can't seem to tell from the pics I've found online and you never know which of those you can trust to be original anyhow.

Thanks!
Jim

It was kind of a silver.  I need to find the correct color so I can re-do mine correctly.

Look for the argent colors similar to wheels...
