What I did on mine was paint the whole grill Argent silver I masked off the outer chrome trim that was ok to use as-is. Use "thin-line" masking tape. I then painted the Argent Silver on the whole grill (rally wheel paint). Then I used the chrome tape only on the horizontal bars. It lays on easily-use a razor blade to trim ends.
You ask what the original was and I found an old core grill I had. It looks like it was painted black everywhere I painted the Argent and the "chrome" is on the outer surround and the 6 horizontal bars. I think the Argent looks better than the black-I'm not an "Original Nut"-hence the 6.0 engine etc..... (-; I'll post more pictures when I get a chance
