Does anyone know the name of the grey color used for the interior in the 57 f100? I want to touch up some of the trim pieces but the stuff at Ace is the wrong shade. I would appreciate any help.

 

Check out this link 1957 Ford Paint Codes and cross reference with PPG paint chips or other paint supplier. Two grays are listed as Gunmetal Grey and Woodsmoke Grey. If it is original to the truck the VIN may assist in determining which color is correct. There are a few other paint lists and paint chips on the internet, but it takes time searching for them.

Here is a FTE post with paint chips 1948-1960 FORD TRUCK COLORS, NAMES, AND CODES. Good luck.

Thank you very much, I appreciate your time in looking those up.

 

Are you talking about the argent silver accent color? If it is the same as the accent colors in '54's I have found that Dulicolor makes a silver that matches exactly.

 

Been looking for Argent silver.....what does Duplicolor have that matches?

 

It is just called Silver.

 

I went out to the garage and got my can of silver spray paint. It is Dupli-Color, Truck, Van, and SUV. The label says Ford T229W Silver (M). It matches perfectly with the silver trim used in Ford trucks, 53-56, and I assume many years after that.

I used to get mine at Wal-Mart.
