Color code for background color on AD truck grills?

Ok, I know, this is something that I should be able to find but a few searches didn't produce the info.

Does anyone have the proper paint code for the Background color on AD pickup grills?

Re: Color code for background color on AD truck grills?

I think this is what I have read on this before, anyway here is some helpful info I think

During 1947-48, the Chevrolet painted grille bars and "back splash" bars were body color. In addition, the leading edge of each painted outer bar had a horizontal stripe matching the cab stripe.

On the 1949-51 Chevrolet, with a painted grille, the "back splash" bar was white. In 1952-53 this changed to light gray to match hub caps and bumpers. On chrome grilles, only the outer bar was plated. The "back splash" bar was as the painted grille.

CHROME! Just kidding, my mom wants to paint her grille too, so I'm interested as well.
