1971 Cuda 340 Front Grill colors

[Manuel]

Hi,

Could someone help me with the original color code for the walls of the air inlet holes on the front gril please?

Its a sort of silver looking color.     Not talking about the sandy darker main finish.

Is this the same color that goes on the front fender ¨air exit¨ walls?     

What is the finishing texture?

Thanks

Mines have gotten kind of a tar accent I believe and think they were silver looking.

Just a dull aluminum paint.

Here's the can of what I used for the insets on my grille.  I believe it is rallye wheel paint.  I don't remember for sure what reference I got this from but I did research pretty extensively and I was fairly certain this was the correct stuff.  As Alan said it is a dull finish, I believe it has some metallic in it.  I do think it is the same as what is used on the fender gills, I didn't paint have to paint mine as I had NOS ones.

Unfortunately I don't have a close up of the insert but if you zoom in on the one below you can see what it looks like, ignore the shadows.

Thx for the great steering.   

The shop is using PPG paint if anyone has a code or name for the color in that brand.

The can I posted is PPG.  It's lacquer and if you can still get it mixed in lacquer this is what you want to get the proper sheen.  I bought this about 4 years ago, I know the guys who painted my car said about 2 years ago they stopped being able to get the PPG organisol in lacquer, so maybe this isn't available either in our area either.

You can just use Mopar Argent Silver wheel paint. Part number P4529876. That will get you one spray can.

This is what I use, and it's likely available at Walmart or Home Depot

I am in Guatemala and gave your can picture to the PPG Rep.    Good news it is their brand, we will see...      Thx Cudaize

[Manuel]

Anlauto,   E7.  Will also search on those monday here in Guatemala  Thx

Also check with a Ford dealer.

The argent paint is part number PM19K207AA, it comes in a spray can, and it's more likely that a Ford dealer will have it in stock.

The old part number was D7AZ19000A.

It is the same colour and sheen as the Mopar paint.

Thank you YYZ

PPG was able to make the paint based on the label Cudaize, Thx again to all.     Wohoooo!

Cavity for the door hanles from the outside.....  they have chrome contour and I can not tell if it is that same dull aluminum paint or the darker sandy finish of the grill?

Wheel rings facing out.... understand also with dull aluminum?    Mines have black in the back, that so?

I like all as original.

If you are talking rally wheels they were painted all semi gloss/gloss black then the silver fronts painted. Sloppy job so the silver would float in the air through the spokes and stick to the black on the back side of the rims.

[Manuel]

Good. Thx

Same dull aluminum paint inside this cavity?
