Can anyone here share with me how to go about cleaning up my grill and headlight bezels on my 67? Im not looking for a total restoration, just freshening them up a little. Can the black be repainted? if so, what kind of paint? how about the small dings and faded chrome? Thanks in advance for any help! Also, part of the trim that covers my taillights is busted. does anyone know where i can get replacements for that?

Grille:
Not sure about what color black or % of gloss. You should be able to scrape off the loose black that is there with some steel wool. Then use some degrease and wax remover and tape off the areas NOT to be painted. I've used some closely matching black spray paint for some trim I was refinishing on another project.
Dings:
That's left to someone that has the proper tools and knowledge. Someone on this site does a good job with dented brightwork & trim...
Faded Chrome:
I use a polish called "SimiChrome". A small tube goes a long way. Find it at yout local auto parts store.
67 tail light trim:

No problem. Take some before and after pictures and post them so we can see them.
