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

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