I believe Krylon makes an argent paint that's dead on with Totally Auto's argent....I can't find it. Anybody know what it is and where to find it?

Here you go. It's not too bad, a friend ordered the light & dark both. Texture is definitely different but the coloring is similar.

Thanks! I've looked at several of the stores they have listed on their web site, but none of them have this specific paint in their Krylon "Fusion" section. Anybody know whick stores carry this?

He ordered it through 'Baxter's' which is a local Oregon parts house so that doesn't do you much good. I'd think any parts house that carries it (or plastikote) could order it using the number from the website. That's what he did. $6 or 7 a can, I think.

I just bought some, looks pretty good. I paid 6 bucks, I found it at one of our good hardware stores. Wally world and home cheepo didnt have the graphite color, only the black that seemed to dark to me.


Now I need to pin those needles, got to feel that heat

This is a good match for the late 60s light argent:
Krylon Dull Aluminum #1403


68 Charger, 383 HP console auto, spring green, stock restoration

Since I now know I'm looking for the "Shimmer" paint I went to Wally-World last night....they carry black, white, brown and green. I guess I keep looking until I find a store that also carries the graphite and silver.

Don't know if you have NAPA's there but out here, they do carry krylon & will order any number you give them. Think they're about $8 a can though, last time I bought one there.

I've used a couple of Totally Auto's Argent paints and for matching their lightest argent paint, I found another consideration is Dupli-Color High Performance Wheel Coating WP101 Silver.
