69 R/T headlight bezel restore

[moparmike80911]

Greetings,

Has anyone restored their 69 R/T headlight bezels? If so, where did you get the
light Argent grey paint? I called Roger Gibson and they don't have a match for
that finish.

Thanks in advance,

If it is similar to a 67 what I did was find a color in our color deck of chips that matched. I very lightly misted the color on. I then mixed some matte clear and very lightly misted/dry sprayed it over that to give the faint texture and a bit of protection for the base. This is using a basecoat clear coat type paint. Another idea might be to find a spray bomb silver that matches and try dry spraying it to create the texture. By dry spraying I mean hold way back and multiple light coats.

67RTBlue,

Thanks for the info. I'll give that a try if I can't find correct paint.

Do lots of practice pieces till you hone a technique that produces the results you want.

I restored mine and still have the paint. If I remember I will take a picture of it and post it.

Thank You everyone for all the info. I'm hoping to order the MOPAR paint if they still have it, if not
then Totally Auto has a grille/bezel light argent paint that I'll try.
