We will have to agree to disagree then. Compared to survivor cars/original pieces, I think it is dead on. I still have some NOS from Alltrim back in the day, and that is an exact match to what Totally Auto sells out of the can. Most grilles, shakers, etc. that I see are to dark.................

ScottSmith_Harms Mr Wizzard Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 42,714 Spokane Washington	I also have some of Alltrims old NOS blend. Here is a bubble I painted with it. I painted another bubble the same day with TA's paint, mixing and application method can vary the NOS paint formulas color somewhat, in my case TA's argent is pretty much the same every time out of the can and too light, in fact, most bubbles I see on cars at shows are too light. Original "Light" argent was darker than most people are aware of.. The Alltrim paint was darker than TA's paint by a fair amount, if anything I'd say it's almost too light the way it came out for me when prepared per the instructions but that could have been due to my mixing methods. Another variable is the flake, Alltrims flake was noticably larger and truer to my original paint sample part. 6007284-BubbleDriversSunFrontD.jpg (78 downloads)

Argent in a can is absolutely nothing like what an original part was when new. The TA gingle can texture argent paint is OK, however, it can never be compared to original paint no matter what shade it is.

Lighting has everything to do with how the metal flake looks! My point on the TA product was that it is an easy and economical answer to those who don't have the abililty to mix/spray themselves! Now, it's time to get mine out and cover up the 80's desert themes.....Enjoy the holiday weekend....... 6007312-DSCN2463.JPG (62 downloads) Last edited by Stewpar; 05/28/10 09:16 AM.

There's no question it's a great product for the average guy doing is own work in his garage, but, to compare it to real argent?
