    As for the HQ they were painted black. These are a couple of pics of mine as is in original worn condition, I think it would be a matt finish.

    The only one I have ever seen which is the original black plastic was on our red van originally but it had hit something so was broken, We just ended up painting a metal HZ grille black with Matt Black...on all our vans, buy grilles from swap meets in case we hit birds etc.

    Your nos HZ grill is silver, it could be painted but I quite sure you don't want me to sand it to find out.
