The painted one is correct.
On our 39 coupe we had the grill fixed and re plated and I have not painted it yet.

      Remember to use the proper primer on the chrome such as UPOL Grip 4 in order to make the paint stick to the chromed surface. If not, the paint will peel. The UPOL is a universal adhesion promoter.

Thanks guys. Good info.

Lou-q... You have quite the stable of auto's..you and I must be alike in that you too like mustangs. I bought a 2016 GT350 and it's a blast.
Hey just wondering if you are happy with your replated grille. Can you maybe forward company that did it for you.

Wonder why a lot of owners just leave it chrome?
