Thanks a lot for the reply!!!
I compared an old weathered 71 cuda grille vs another old 70 grille I have and they look to be very similar....still they are really old sun baked grilles, so I cant tell for sure....
But yes, from what I recall I kinda always thought that the 70 grilles were either a bit lighter gray or maybe as you say got a lil bit more shimmer on them.
...But most people just told me both years are the same shade....
I tried the Rattle Can Dark Argent which is supposed to be correct for the 71 and 70 cuda grille and it is defintely not accurate. Texture is a little less coarse, and its also quite darker than my NOS 71 cuda grille I had to compare with.
However, I took the pressurized paints out of the Rattle can and I mixed it with some synthetic enamel silver paint, and also added some ochre and blue IIRC and I was able to lighten it some to make it match to my NOS 71 Cuda grille and I can say I was pretty happy with the results. I will try and post some pics.

Just gee whiz I used Mopar light argent from year one and found I had to mist it with silver wheel paint, it almost appeared green to me. Here is one center cap already misted over in silver and the other freshly painted in just the argent.

Just gee whiz I used Mopar light argent from year one and found I had to mist it with silver wheel paint, it almost appeared green to me. Here is one center cap already misted over in silver and the other freshly painted in just the argent. could I ask - how much did you reduce the paint from yearOne? and did you shake/stir it for a real good bit, before reducing and spraying? I have used that paint before, and never had it come out with that shade etc... Bill

I had it put in spray cans at a local Napa and I think I shook it good. So I'm not sure what they did to it. It looked OK on the cans lid. Maybe they didn't shaker the can before they worked with it? You should see my answer to organisol Okay, I'll bite. What is your answer? Whatever it is it looks pretty good.

For the reply. Now for a problem; I finally found the Planet Color website and the closest textured color I can find is the PCRC18 here. http://sw-rodandrestocustomcolor.com/colors/PCRC18 What am I missing??
