Well I’ve spent the last month or more repairing 23 broken or missing ABS plastic sections to restore my front grille. It's been more of an experiment to see if I could do it, and I think it's going to work. Next I got all the Zbart and grime cleaned off & prepped for paint. Today I sprayed it with the "SEM Trim Black" thinking that was probably the right stuff??? Now I’m wondering if I screwed this up. This satin sheen is pretty flat compared to what it looked like pre-repair but it might have been painted before I owned it so don’t really know. Hoping to get some help/advice setting me straight on what’s the right paint/sheen for our grilles…
Thanks
Bob

On my 72, the original unpainted grill has more of a semi-gloss finish. You may be able to add a coat of semi-gloss over the flat to achieve the desired finish.
thanks for the help on this. Dang I seem to do stuff like this often to myself. Two steps forward then one back. Semi-Gloss it is. Thanks again
