filler panel color

 Anybody know the original color or a paint code? Even something close would be ok. I'm talking about the piece that goes in between the grill and bumper. Randy

Randy,
   That's called Argent. You'll be luckier than I was if you find a paint formula for the original paint. Just choose an Argent from the paint supplier you're using. Jim

Thanks, I'll try argent then. Argent is silver in french I think.

Unique. I think Carpenter and others may sell Argent in aerosol cans.

I painted my last one body color, which was yellow, and it looked like crap.  This car will be white, and it will get an argent pan.  You can get it from Carpenter, Macs, and I think you should be able to get any good paint store to mix it up for you if they have microfiche that goes back to the early 60s or so.

Eastwood also sells the Argent paint. They have it were you can spray thru a gun and also in the Rattle can. I have used theirs on a set of wheels before,worked good. Go to   -   eastwood.com  or call 1800-345-1178   Good luck!
