The colors are: #1 Krylon Black Textured shimmer #2520 #2 Krylon graphite Textured shimmer #2521 #3 Krylon Silver Textured shimmer #2522 #4 Eastwoods Light Argent textured #12717 Z I wish I had a sample of the Totally Auto paint to stick next to them to compare, but I have less invested in all of these, (I got the Eastwood paint free at the Nats last year) than the Totally Auto would charge for one can. Hopefully this will help out some others by giving them a comparison on the different paints available. 5372444-argent.jpg (825 downloads)

All of the stores I've gone to that carry Krylon don't have the graphite. The local "Good" home town hardware store, it's a TrueValue chain, had all three colors. You can order it online at www.doitbest.com and have it shipped to a local store. KudaKidd - It looks like #2 would be a good match. Thanks.

I have seen a lot of them refinished with the darker argent color and they are not correct. Mine is an untouched factory original piece so I know it is correct.
