First time I saw your question. Don't know about the grill but on the dust covers, this is what I did on my Nova.
You should have gotten new staples with them. Hold the cover up to your fenderwell and use a very small drill (same size as the hole in the fenderwell)and drill into the rubber. Then use a bigger drill and drill into the rubber only, to enlarge the holes. Push the staple through the holes and bend them over. I used a body hammer and dolly to do this. Drill the next set of holes and do the same. It will help if you have an extra pair of hands to help as it's hard to drill and hold it at the same time. I did mine while the fenderwells were off the car so this made it easier to work on. Hope this helps you out. Oh, and opinions are like a**holes. Everyone has one. ( I just had to say that) Seriously though, we do talk about Chevelles 99% of the time. If a subject doesn't interest you just delete it. About your grill, call one of the vendors and ask them about the black paint. They'll know.

Obviously Larry has an opinion. I've received it three times in my email-box. Do you people talk at all about Chevelles here? I've posted a question twice today with no response. I joined this list to talk about Chevelles, not other people. Lets try this one again...
  I have a 72 Chevelle that I recently purchased a grill for through ebay. It has some blemishes in the black grill. The seller tells me these won't show when its painted. I didn't think it was supposed to be painted?...anyone know?
        Also, I want to install the control arm dust covers onto the steel wheel wells with the staples provided. Surely there isn't a staple gun for this. Do I pilot drill each staple?
