I've had at least a dozen Dales 32 grilles that started out with polished bars. We taped off the stainless outer rim and crank hole, did a light gl*** bead to dull the bars and had the bars powder coated satin black. I would probably look to United Pacific for a grille insert these days.
This one started as a original 32 grille insert, I taped of the stainless surround and painted it black. The same thing with this car except it was power coated cream. HRP
A little different I made the s/s piece and welded in the center bar then spray the other bars flat black
