Little bits of progress on the paint project, I freshened up the original grille with some Rustoleum silver wheel paint. Turned out just about the right color and metallic look to match the color GM used. Don't know how it'll hold up, but if it's decent I definitely will use the same stuff to restore the grille on my big truck.
Don't worry, I did tape off the bow tie. Although seeing the tape on there before paint gives me the itch to have a classic blue bow tie on the grille
I also hit the front and rear bumpers and my wiper arms with some JD blitz black I had, I like the satin/semi gloss look on bumpers over gloss
