Scott, do you have to use argent silver? Do the grills need to be as from the factory?

This only a suggestion.......
My take on Argent Silver if I may. My 66es both came from the factory with Argent Silver. I never really liked it as it was too bright for my taste. Back in 1970 for my first 66 GTO I had nothing else to use and my local parts and paint shops didn't have Argent Silver to repaint them. No big deal as I ended totaling the GTO. On to the 66 GTO I now have. The grills were in sad shape paint wise and at the time I had no place near me where I could pick up the paint. I went to a car show up in Pottstown, PA at the small strip mall where Eastwood is located. They were actually a sponsor for the show. Inside I found their Spray Grey and have never looked back. IMO it's the perfect color for the 66 grills. Not so bright to take away the looks of the paint and the front of the car. If you can grab a can and try it on your grills if you don't like it you can always go to the Argent Silver.
