So I’ve restored the steel front grille mounting surround from my 69 charger, and the next step will be to restore the plastic grille itself that mounts back into the steel frame.
I’m looking for hints or tips on things like how to go about removing the fasteners that hold the stainless trim onto the plastic grille without doing damage, as well as paint suggestions for both the black, and argent areas of the grille.
I restored the grille on my 68 years ago but it has been so long that I’ve forgotten all of these tricks, and what paints I used.
Any info would be appreciated as I hope to dive in on the plastic part of the grille in the next day or 2.

For my driver, I just turned a pair of standard argent grills to black with this.......

On the headlight trim rings I just used Rustoleum Metallic Satin Nickle.
