correct argent silver lacquer
 

Anyone have a source for CORRECT lacquer argent silver paint (not in a rattle can).

I bought a quart from carpaintonline.com. The coverage is not good, and it is too dark.

See if you have a PPG paint store that still mixes lacquer, I have been using acrylic enamel and it sprays and looks the same. They can mix it in OMNI too.
PPG 8568

I would suggest against the PPG Omni line, I wouldn't go below the ShopLine level - and would suggest at least the Deltron if not the Global line.... IMHO.

NOBODY in the OKC metro mixes PPG lacquer. There is no law against it. They just don't carry it.

Of course, and this makes NO SENSE, you can buy all the lacquer thinner you want from the same guys that won't sell lacquer.

I agree with Marlin. Good stuff or not at all.

What are you going to paint?

I use Dupont Chroma Premier with a bit of hardener for durability, matched the NOS headlight bezels perfectly.

That's for sure Bill - how about a picture of the other side. If it fits just as nicely - it'll be the best I've ever seen! Usually one side or the other has a little more of an outboard gap. Of course, the re-pops are nothing but gaps!

Other side....

Don't think I didn't spend my share of time getting it aligned, hell I was so frustrated at one point I wanted to go with bigger hammer ie 5lb sledge and use the "BEAT TO FIT AND PAINT TO MATCH installation technique!"
