Paint Grill

My 66 grill looks ok. Not bad enough to re-chrome but bad enough to refinish. I've looked at VHT Argent Silver Wheel Paint, VHT ESP 186007 Chevy Wheel Paint, GM Silver Semi-Gloss. Anyone with experience with any of these? Would appreciate your help.

I just painted my '67 grill, and I did a search for the "best" paint to use. I got so many different answers that I just used some paint I had laying around the garage [Duplicolor, 1615 Aluminum].
It came out OK, but I'm sure its not NCRS perfect. Here's the way I taped mine, and sprayed from all angles.

Great idea on the tape job. Do you have a picture of the front of the grill?

I only have one before & after from the front. My grill was all chrome to start with. The spray came out OK, better than spending $1,000 on a new one.
