1966 Cutlass / 442 side trim color

Hello everyone.

Would anyone happen to know the correct side panel insert trim color (as pictured) ?

I am thinking that it is argent silver, but i am definately not positive.

Any assistance (including brand / part # ) would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave

Dave I had my Stainless polished by a Local guy.Gordon Duda.
Rochester Michigan.
I then masked them off for my Powder Coater and hit them with Bengal Silver.
They look like the brushed Stainless that was on the car originally.

Thanks Ron.


I spoke to Mike earlier and he advised that Krylon "dull aluminum" would be the best match.

Fortunately, I only had to re-shoot the PS rear QP piece so I took a shot with the "Argent Silver" . It seems to be pretty close however, I didn't prime it first so needless to say, I am going to strip it down and start over the right way.

From there, I will do a little experimenting but i'm sure in the end, I will defer to you and Mike's vast knowledge of these cars going forward.

Thanks again,


David
