if you have a sample take it to halfords , thay can probably match it and put it in an aresol can.

Argent is a special formula, they did/do it in rattles cans but the end product is not so good, it is available as a spray formula from the States, it is rough to the touch and very metallic looking.

If you aren't in too much of a rush, I'm trying to find a good sample of Argent to match accurately so I can make a up a formula and I might be able to cross reference it with a stock manufacturers colour.

I think it's got quite a lot of flake in it, but is overall quite a grey colour, Roger's Charger grille may be good enough to match, so I'll keep you posted, I need to do mine in the next couple of months.

If an anyone has a nos argent silver part still in the wrapper, let me know!

Hope this helps, Argent silver MOPP4529876 Mancini restoration parts $9.95 per can. Fed Ex will fly paint to the UK as their planes are presurised.

Steve, that's tops, I think I can do something with that.

I'll do a test mix and see how it turns out on my Runner grille.

Let us know how it goes Ivor!
I'll be needing get my grill and rear panel done before I'm back on the road (so no rush then )

(thats the textured argent bit - I already have the flat silver argent spray bomb)

Came across this;

http://www.alltrim.com/ARGENT.html

There is more than one argent, - even on one car!

My Cuda has 4 different argents:

Shaker
Grille
Wheels
Wheel centres

I got the argent paints from Roger Gibson www.rogergibsonautorestoration.com

The shaker was a 3 pack process, the grill two pack (as i remember).
There are other argents used on Challengers, Road Runners etc.
If you want it to be correct, - All are available from Roger Gibson's site.

If you are getting from the US there a few options - Alltrim seem to be regarded as the most authentic, if Roger G does them then I'm assuming his will be pretty accurate too (I only saw shaker argent in his catalogue Jim?).

Or you can get them from Totally Auto in a spray can http://www.totallyautoinc.com/paints.html, they seem to be regarded as pretty close. That would be who I'm most likely to go with - unless Ivor gets a formula sorted out - that would be great!

There are TWO textured argents - light and medium. The others are smooth.
Here's Alltrims opinion of the 'other' repos. http://www.alltrim.com/ARGENTCHALL.html They have the last remaining supplies of NOS argents (or at least the important tinters that went into it), they used to sell it but I think will only use it themselves now, but they have copied it.

Close enough would prob be good enough for me!

Found a variation of argent today in Do It All/Focus one of the plasticote range in a rattle can ?6.99 Results are good , used it in my rear lamp units for reflector silvering. Originaly just bright mazak. Finish is aluminium colour with a light texture,semi matt/satin.

So it's not a "restoration" then

Nope,it's a c-body Seein' as the roof had nearly rusted off the window holes where the trim clips used to live,I'll be glad just to drive it. SOON I hope.
