Headlight bezel paint

I'm refinishing the grille and headlight bezels on my 1984 K2500. I found VHT Chevy Rally Wheel paint for the argent tone. I'm satisfied to shoot the grille with that, as it looks like the factory finish is one color.

The bezels are in good enough condition I can tell there were two colors used. The flat piece between the upper and lower headlights is the same as the color of the grille. The contours are a different color, like a darker silver or silver-gray.

I've seen enough pics here to know some of you guys have done this kind of work. What have you used? This isn't a restoration, or I'd be super anal, so an aftermarket product is acceptable.

I should also ask what you've used to refinish the red on the GMC letters that affix to the grille.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome! Check out this thread: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=451831&page=2

He used some Eastwood paints that look factory and could probably be used there.
