Default 72 Esprit grill color?

Hi, I'm new to this forum-just acquired a 72 Espirit, rust free original paint survivor!

Anyway, my original grills are in good shape (perfect stainless!) but have hard water staining and scratches on the edges. What are the correct colors for the edges and eggcrates? I would like to get the colors as close as possible to the original.

It looks like the edges are a bright argent, and the eggcrates are a darker gray. Any one know the correct codes?

Thanks!

The '72 Esprit grilles as well as those on the base Firebird and Formula are completely painted silver.

Yep, in '72 all Firebird grilles are completely argent silver, excepting the T/A which had argent silver surrounds and black "honeycombs".

Silver yes, and I am partial, but the 72 grilles are the coolest of the 70-73, dig them squashed honeycombs.....
