Title: 1957 Fairlane Original Gray
Post by: chapingo17 on 2019-06-21 13:11
I'm in the process of getting the right color code (gray) for the air filter and accessories and I'm not exactly sure if the front splash is the same color. I was able to find the right color code for the body not sure about the gray. Tanks in advance.

  Ford still sells it under the Motorcraft brand. Not sure it would be the exact same tint from 62 years ago. VHT and Duplicolor also list it as argent, which translates to silver in french.

I used a GM Duplicolor paint on my front splash pan. I matched it to the underside which was still original. I have since found the VHT paint at O'Rielly's. It matches pretty close check out the cap next to the seat bottom trim (original paint). It is high temp wheel paint.

Ford just discontinued the Argent spray cans (D7AZ-19000-A). Seymore sells the closest match now.

Air cleaner, Power Steering pump and front splash pan. Also good for the back side of bumpers.
