Does the entire insert get painted grey, or should I tape off the stainless outer edge. And also what is the color. Anything available. Thanks Joe

No part of the stainless molding and hand crank guide were originally painted. If you have the version that has an all-stainless frame, that should be left unpainted. The name of the original color was seagull gray. PPG single stage DCC586 is a good match to the original color.

Does anyone make a spray bomb that is close to Seagull Gray? I thought I recalled someone making this, but I could be wrong.

A lot of paint stores will put your color in a spray can for you

You're welcome!

P.S. Congratulations for using the correct 1932 Ford spelling of 'grill'. With the '33s, Ford switched to the French 'grille'.
