I'm no expert, but it seems to me that in the past, it was recommended that you primer the grille first, with a greyish white primer, and then follow with the argent. Not only do the tabs and such look correct, but the tone of the argent is closer to original. Sorry, I don't know the color codes.

Bone.

I have the grille out. Its an original black one. Im going to scuff it up and try the SEM custom mix in a spot on the back and see how it compares to my headlight bezels.

We will see how this goes :hmmm:

Yes you can certainly have any color mixed and installed in a spray can. Any paint store worth anything can do this for you. It's great for guys that don't have a gun or a means to mix their own paint.

I've had it done many times for customers when I was painting tube chassis cars for a fabrication shop. They wanted little aerosol cans to touch up the roll bars as they get scratched getting in and out, flopping the seat belts around etc...

So if you want a custom urethane paint, Omni, or what ever brand mixed up in a spray can, that's probably the simplest and cheapest solution for guys wanting to shoot small parts.

Yes, most paint stores can put the single stage products in a spray can for you.

My grill was an NOS black grill. I primed it with white epoxy, so that if there were a small chip in the silver, it wouldn't be as noticeable.

Jonesy, one of the things i did, although on an orig bone color grill was to totally refinish the grill, we completely repainted it the same bone color (customers mix) - then we followed up with the silver, and then the body color overspray on the surround. Looks 100% original. The bone color will help with the silver coverage most effectively.

Also - if you go silver over black then for sure your headlamp bezels will be slightly off....I would suggest a quick respray of those as well. Light scuff and reshoot to get that consistency.

Well I went to the auto body supply shop here.
They looked up PPG 3568 and it’s 1983 Ford Mercury Loden Green.
I definitely did not have that mixed

Lynn are you sure about that paint code?

Ppg 8568

Thanks Mike. I give it a try.
