Time to repaint grill

The grill was starting to look bad, so I pulled it, dry sanded, taped if off and repaint several light coats. Gunmetalic grey. Flushed the coolers out with water while it was off. Yes, i did it from the front but it was better than nothing.

Im going to thread jack for a second for one question. Dont want to start a thread for what Im taking is going to be a simple yes answere. The Excursion, im thinking is the one that has it, looks like the outside of our grill but is more of a honeycomb type center. This should fit the F250 right?

My 99 F350 needs a grill repaint and I have been looking for the correct color. Is gunmetallic grey from a paint company or is it a Ford color? I don't have a spray gun so I need something in a rattle can that will work.
