69 grille
DEWilson:
Hi i see in past post that the grill is stated to be painted and code is ppg 32947 so have found it is called charcoal gray have found this mix code was also used on 73 -78 Pontiac wheels trim paint.. so what i am looking for is if there is any pic of the 69 grille showing factory paint

I don't know who said that, but my original 69 plastic grill is just plain black plastic.
I still have my car bought over 36 years ago as an unrestored original.
Sounds like the same idea as those steering wheel restoration companies painting them when they're colored plastic to begin with.
Brian Conway:
Ditto on the black plastic grill. The headlight surrounds were dipped in black paint. Brian

The color came from a paint chart from the period if I recall correctly. None of the originals (non-NOS) I've had were strong black like other plastic parts on the car that were black by comparison
Don't recall seeing evidence of drips or run off from dipping of the inner (high beam) light rings. Will dig some out to see what I can find when I can get to them
