Does anyone know the correct "grey" trim color on the 1966 442 or cutlass. I am looking to restore my trim and am looking for a rattle can with the right color or something very close that I can use. On some older posts, folks called it argent ... if so where can I purchase a spray can?... See the photo below for what I am talking about. Any assistance that you can provide would be appreciated!! ~Dave.

Dull Aluminum Krylon is good for that. It's hard to find and it might be too dull. The old paint was perfect but they changed the mixture. If you decide to use it,you might use a satin/semi flat clear over it to get the right sheen. One thing you need to be careful about,no paint will stick on the trim unless you use an epoxy primer first. The smaller stripe is black,not red.

In my search for Krylon "dull Aluminum" with no luck so far... I noticed Valspar has a "dull aluminum" lacquer paint, $13 on Amazon... has anyone used this?

I have had success with rattle can Chrome on several cars. Forget which brand, Dupli color or Krylon. Once it ages just a little bit it mimics the factory dull silver dead on(IMO). Argent is too dark IMO.
I used it on my 68 on the headlight buckets, the lower lip on the grill, trunk lip trim and SS2 center cap depressions. I'll try to remember to take some close-ups of the results(which by now are approaching 30 years old and still goin strong).

Don't rule out Eastwood. They have put a lot of time into various finish recreations
