On 1951 grills, "The "back splash" bar of the painted grill was white. On chrome grills, only the outer bar was plated and the "back splash" bar was painted as the painted grill."
On the painted grill in 1952, "The “back splash” was light gray to match hub caps and bumpers [Thistle Gray?]." (from Jim Carter's website)
