69 Nova SS Front Bumper filler Paint Color.
 
Hello,

On the top side of the front bumper has the filler piece. Need to know what the proper color is of this so the body man/painter can get this finished in the proper color. I know its not the body color.

I thought it was Argent Silver or something like that.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Things have progress pretty good. Fathom Green looks pretty dark in that lighting, but is the code as provided by a local member here.

I will let the bodyman/painter know it Argent Silver. Thanks for your help.

Darcy, it is Argent, but it is not a gloss. It's more satin/flat. Remember this was laquer in the day, sprayed on plastic. I'm not sure if it was flattened, or the laquer was absorbed by the plastic, and not buffed. With bc/cc you'll probably want to knock the shine off with a mat clear, or use a single stage flattened.

The last couple I did I used some acrylic enamel. It sprays out somwhat like lacquer and the sheen is perfect, not urethane glossy.

Ken, Thanks for your response I will pass this on to the bodyman/painter. How's the color look, looks a little dark to me at this point, but I think it will look proper once we get it out in natural light.

Mike, I will pass this info on to the bodyman/painter and he can figure out what system he wants to use, yours or Kens. Mike, do you have any pictures of your sticker placement on the nova? Any and all sticker that may have been placed on it would be great.

Happy holidays gents.

I do not believe they are painted Mike.

I have two NOS 3919083 fillers. Both are silver/Gray, can't tell, AF Docs said I'm color blind. Anyway, could the correct color be the color out of the box? Here's a few pics from one of mine:
