Anyone have any tricks to painting a 1970 d-100 aluminum grille a dark silver color? Anyone have any luck with it sticking?

I’m thinking remove the anodizing with oven cleaner, sand, then etching primer and paint.

I’d love to find a steel one, but haven’t seen one in a long time.

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted but I check in regularly. Kids, life, and work typically take priority over old trucks.
