Paint Moabs "Argent"

I would like to paint my 16" Rubicons and i like the "argent" colour of AEV wheels.

Any equivalent paint code?

Hey, I have the aev wheels and wanted to paint some parts on my jeep to match, the closest i could find in rattle can was dupli colors storm grey , real close that I used it to touch up a couple chips on my wheels.. I'll look for the code if I have a can laying around.

Thank you amigo. Do you also believe that i must grind the sharp edges of wheels' spokes for better result before painting (in order the paint to be applied smoothly avoiding any flakes after couple of months)?

Hello PANY! The paint number is T414, it is the dupli color truck, van rv, paint in storm grey! Here is a pic of my old sahara bumper cover painted to match, looks darker in pic but it match very well!

Paint will not stick to a sharp edge! You need to slightly round these edges, as little as 1/16" radius is enough.
If left sharp the paint will flow away from the edges and not cover.
