Just the mid large flat surface. Reflections can produce some misleading tells in the pictures - the reason for multiple angles ;)

Guess I would use pinstripe tape for the edges then just mask the rest of the surface before painting

I'm going to do this on my '70 as well. Is the correct paint just called "Argent"? I'm going to order it from NPD if that's correct? Also are the plastic headlight bezels painted Argent as well?
Thanks,
Matt

All is see listed in spray cans is "Argent wheel paint" is this correct for the grill moldings as well?

Thanks,

Matt

Be sure to get the dark argent for the grill area, like this one;
