I have masked up and painted the inside squares of one of my original re-chromed front grills. The outside edge of the squares are still chrome however its a bit hard to see in the picture.
I decide to paint them satin black instead of the factory silver/grey.
It came out ok. I have to mask, etch prime and paint the other side now.

They look great.
Black will probably look better with more contrast as well.

Thanks Craig,
I was thinking about doing them body colour (Electron Blue) but figured the black would look better.

One step forward, two steps back at the moment.
I am not impressed with the fit of the Corvette America dash pads.
In fact the pillar mouldings, rear quarter trim and the rest of the interior trim pieces fit like crap.
I would like to think if they went to the expense and time to tool up to reproduce these parts they would at least make them fit!!!
I've had more of my original dash parts re-skinned.
They came out looking good and being original they should fit.
Also I have been fitting the front grills.
I have quite a bit of work to do to the bumperettes to make them fit better. They will then be sent off for chroming.
gtc:
May have been asked before (didn't go back over all posts): What is the name of that blue? Looks magnificent!
