68 grill, R painted ones also aluminum?

Post by exline »

I was just wondering if the painted grills were also aluminum like the unpainted ones? I am assuming yes but just wanted to be sure before i went out and got one. I am planning on stripping the paint off and polishing it.

i hit a deer with mine and now its junk. so i am looking for a new one.
thanks

The painted grilles are steel.

As a temporary measure and until you find a good aluminum piece you could use chrome paint on a steel grill which actually looks like polished aluminum when applied.
