1968 Road Runner Grill

[Eric Pearson]

I just found a dealer for the Dark argent paint that goes on a 1968 RR Grill. If anyone would be kind enough to send me some pictures of how the grill is painted with this color I would greatly appreciated it. PS the place That I got this paint from is 8774paint1. He is out of CA and is super helpful!!!!

Just fyi. The dark argent from that vendor is too light....I compared it to OEM and it's much lighter, the paint I tried from Herb's/AMS Obsolete was much closer to factory.
Don't waste your money on the 8774paint....

The rectangles got the argent silver and the standoffs were flat black.

Post #13 has a pic, hopefully that helps some...
Which Argent for '68 RR Grille?

I have one from a wrecked car early in the 70's. Other than being bent up it's bright work and paint is still nice. It's just wall art.. I can post pics tommorow.

Not the scheme your looking for but you could take a crack at refinishing it yourself and making your own argent..

I just did my '69 with rattle can cast iron engine. It's close enough. OER carries the dark and silver Argent also.
