Trim/surround is dark argent

The FAQ reference was taken from a period paint chip page. Today allot of owners just use the same dark argent, Originally there may have been a slight variation between the two (grill and trim) since they were painted at different suppliers with different paint.

Others may have suggestions based on what they found that worked for them

I always thought that the grill and the trim paint were both dark argent, but I'll let brighter minds confirm that one.....

However, Don't go by the color of NOS parts, the color of both the grill parts and the trim vary wildly during the production of the parts ....
