Paint color

Need to paint my grill insert on my 1997 F350 4x4 crew cab. Chrome is fine but the inside is faded and I would like to keep the same original color. Where can I find this information, any ideas?

I used Krylon plastic paint and it came out pretty good, but I painted it black vs. the grey it was. It is fading now after about a year of washing and hot FL sun.

Paint Color

That looks very good, I am kind of on a mission to get the exact paint color that the truck came with tho. I did black on my F150 but didn't use the correct gloss and it is too shinny, need to do it over.

check your door code, it should be on there. That's how I found out my truck was Oxford White.

I did the same few days ago, I painted it black, vs the grey it was, (but it was the second grill, because the original was black). and I love the black better than the grey.
