    I'm about to chrome paint my '71 plastic hood grills and want to know which parts to use the liquid chrome marker on? Is it just the 6 ribs running from front to back of each grill or, is the border surrounding the grills also chrome? Anyone got a pic of properly restored '71 grills?

    It's a little hard to tell from the pic but, are the ribs and the border around the grills chrome or just aluminum paint?

    I'd suggest more of an argent silver.
