My car got backed into and the bumper scraped the argent finish off, is there a product available or a source for restoration to get it back to original look? am I dreaming?
Thanks in advance,
Tony

Totally Auto sells argent paint in a spray can. If you want something a closer match, you'll have to buy it from Roger Gibson Auto Restorations.

Krylon Fusion Graphite #2521 is darn near a dead match for the textured argent grilles and the texture is perfect. There are a few older threads here on it. I used it on my Chargers grilles and will use it on my Cuda when I restore its grille.

Thanks I need to do this too. I used Dupli-Color Silver Texture MX102, it also looks good.
What about the bottom piece above the valance?

My original lower valance insert is unpainted molded in an argent like color. I plan on painting it to match the grille.

Here is a close up of the Krylon on my Charger grille.
