question on a '67 grill

OK, I have a painted 67 grill on my truck. I tried sticking a magnet to it and it stuck. There for it is a steel grill, right? Short of repainting and dipping into chrome, is there a way to shine up the steel so that it looks good, without rusting? Also, it is painted black. Could that be factory, I thought they were only painted ivory?. Once again (for the millionth time) thanks for all the help!

I had a stainless grill on my '67 a few years back, it had previously been painted black and was chipping badly. I removed all the paint with SOS pads and water. It looks pretty decent after that. I suppose then it could be repainted or chromed after that.

Here is a pretty straightforward guide to working on stainless trim that I found earlier today...

You could polish it and clear it, but not sure how long that would last.

Maybe just paint it that Argent silver color?

Mine is the aluminum version on my '67.
