Silver paint for grills

I have a '69 442 with faded original grills. I need to know what color silver I should use to redo them.

Thanks

Aren't 69 442 black? Cutlass silver?

The grill portion is black but the trim around them is the dull silver color.

They are black, but the 'frames', if you will, are silver like the headlight surrounds.

Thank you. Black would be a lot easier but I like the stock look.
