    Is there a rattle can color I can purchase to repaint the silver/gray of the grille.
    I've been thru 4 colors so far. not even close.

    The color is Argent Silver, I believe. I think Eastwood makes a close match.

    Joe,
    I have used the Eastwood Argent. You can also use the Duplicolor Argent wheel paint. Just make sure to clean the plastic well. I used a adhesion primer prior to putting the finish coat on.

    Thanks mike, Because of the fire at Eastwood, my order may take a while before shipping. In the mean time I have been restoring the center SS trim. I thought testors-flat grapefruit was the right color. It looked good on the badges but it's to orange on the center stripe. I have the original color on another piece behind the badge for comparison. I tried the red engine paint that would be used for the block, SW air cleaner ect. and that's much closer. any tips on badge and stripe colors ?
