Title: Correct Argent Paint Code Needed- Front Grille Etc
Post by: CompRed70scj on June 23, 2025, 09:06:55 PM
Hi. I'm sending my Shelby out for paint, and wanted to provide the proper color for the argent in the front end. I've heard it's the same as what Ford used on the rocker moldings for 70 Mach 1's, but that paint is now out of stock at every place I looked. Is there a paint code people recommend or another color that is close?

Call NPD they have their own custom made spray bombs

We have used them and they are very close if not the same to original

Best of luck

The post above mine from Flsaac has information that is not correct for your application.

Heck I'll correct that by calling NPD and advise them that you said their batch mixed spray bombs are not correct
Thanks

You two need to stop sniping at each other or face a time out.

 The last two posts could have been worded in a much more benign manner.

Try that in the future.
