What is the paint code for the gray or silver that is used on my 52 Hornet rocker panels? Thanks! Bill

58 pontiac INCA SILVER is very close match to the original ARGENT on the rockers. You can use some "flatner" if you think it a little too glossy.

Hi Bill,

I have a set of color chips for 52 and there are two grays listed:

202-57127 Jupiter Gray Metalic : Combination number 95N : DUCO Stock Number 1350

246-70397 French Gray : Combination number 72, 101 (U), 106 (U), 107 (L), 108 (L), 109 (L), 110(L) : DUCO Stock Number 668

Jairo.

You can usually find a "argent silver" in a given product line.

As far as I know, there was never a "paint code" for the argent color of the rocker panels. Hudson carried Argent as a service item, but you ordered it by the Hudson part number. As Park W mentions, most auto paint lines have an "Argent" color that will be o so close!

Don't know if they still have it, but Ford dealers used to carry 16oz. spray cans of argent in their parts departments.

Thanks everyone for your help! I will go to my auto paint store and ask the about the "argent". This forum is great!! Bill

I never saw a paint code for the rocker silver paint either. But it was called Argent. The colors you mentioned are a flat type paint without metallic flake. By the way, look at the periodic table; Ag is the chemical symbol for silver, or Argentum, atomic number 47.

Probably not a paint code just because it was the same on every car,
