What is the correct color for a 68 SS396 Grille. Is it a gloss, semi-gloss or Flat Black? Mine looks pretty dull, but in need of repainting.

I used semi-gloss with very good results. I believe the original specs called for a 60 degree gloss. A good paint guy could probably tell you exactly what that means.

BLaze, Try Krylon Semi Flat black. This is very close to what GM put on this originally. Look At Home Depot or Lowes. rb6667
