andrich Member 94 Member For: 16y 3m 23d Posted 04/07/12 09:05 AM Share Posted 04/07/12 09:05 AM Hey guys.I'm getting my genuine dark argents painted this coming weekend (finally). I have the correct paint but I'm a little worried about getting the lip painted in the right silver colour. I wanted people's help on what they think the lip colour is? Obviously silver but should I just say it's a chrome silver or polished silver? Any help would be greatCheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80831-painting-genuine-dark-argents-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
