Has anyone had any success refinishing the satin finish on a 1967 grill. Some on the satin finish on mine is worn off and Corvette Central sells a product to repaint the finish.

I did a 66 grille over with Krylon dull aluminum paint, it was right on, I don't know where to find this paint anymore it is not sold at home depot anymore, if the paint you are looking at is dull aluminum it should be correct.

PYasher

Thanks for the reply. Did you prime the grill before painting it and how is it holding up?

ACE carries Krylon

You need the Krylon 1613 which is only sold on the commerical side of the business now. Go to a big commerical paint dealer or use the SEM trim paint.

I did not prime it and it has been a few years, It still looks good. The old krylon is lacquer, not sold in stores, found it at McMaster-carr.

Thanks everyone for all you advice...

Krylon 1613 is semi flat black. He's needing a color in the silver spectrum.

Here is the correct paint.
KS124 DULL ALUMINUM; SparVar Lacquer Paints...
It can be purchased on line for under $6.00 a can...

Thanks again for all your help!: smash:

I used the same argent silver rattle can paint I used on my rally wheels. Masking the non painted edge of the fins was very difficult. I used a small exacto knife to scrape off the overspray........

Hello everyone >> for some reason my 67 coupe grille is black >> with the chrome edges >> it's looks o.e.m. is that possible ? thx

Welcome to the CF! No, the grills had the chrome highlites with the dull silver surfaces, no black. Some one put the custom touch on yours. Dennis

Sounds like you have a 65 only grille The grab bar sounds added on. You should start a new thread and add pictures of you can

My '67 is number 22861. It has the aluminum colored grill (no black) and it doesn't have a grab handle.

Like Nowhere Man suggested, start a new thread and post your questions with some pics and folks will help you sort this out. This thread is 5 years old .
