i believe argent silver is the closest match.it's what i use and it looks like the originals but alittle brighter but as you know any non-repainted 70\72 grill 's paint will have flattend out over the many years of lookin' down hiways and bi-ways plus good ol' engine heat.i have seen 72' grills literaly melted to.oleblue=
