Ok, so I'm wondering (in short) what the right color for my grille is supposed to be?

I've been contending with what looks like the same color as the rest of the car (i.e. a cheap paintjob that shot everything basically) on my grille for a while, and I figure that since I've got a few free afternoons (plus good weather) coming up I could reshoot it with something else.

Now I've seen silverish/gray ones, but I've also seen black-ish colors. What's correct?

Personally I'm inclined to shoot it black (even the plastic fascias for the turn signals got hit with silver overspray, and these look like they are supposed to be black) ... but I figure someone on here's gotta know...?

Thanks for the help! :cool:

The grille should be the same color as the tail lights and drivers rearview mirror, a medium gray color. I think its the same as the 240's tail lights, grille, and hub caps, if so (http://www.classicdatsun.com/) has premixed oem gray in spray paint cans, I used it on my dads 260, it looks good. -Todd
