It has a heavier texture than what we call argent silver wheel paint. It more like a 72-74 OEM Grill texture. but not as dark.

It's the argent that would be used for the grill or center cap. Not the wheel.

Correction - it's a unique dark argent.

Download the Roger Gibson catalog and it's under paint

By design, yes, but don't forget, two different suppliers were mixing thier own paint, you can bet they varied a bit

Man, the guy just wants to buy some paint




When you think about it the paint could have varied by shift, day, operator, whatever

Before I cleaned off the original paint off my shaker bubble to my 70 Cuda I compared it to the original paint on the grill. The bubble was a lighter shade of argent. When I restored the bubble I painted it with an original argent that my PPG paint rep was able to mix up. He also gave my some white/ black so I could fine tune it myself. I then sprayed it with some fine metalflake suspended in a clear lacquer. Here is a pic of the results.
