Argent Silver.
If you're an NCRS guy, 68 - 82 rally wheels used Argent Silver paint, but 68 thru early 71 Argent Silver had a greenish tint to it, while the rest of 71-82 has the more typical silver tint.
Some 1971's had both greenish and silver tinted wheels. If you order a can of Argent Silver today, it will be the silver tint. The greenish tint is very tough to find, not sure anyone produces it anymore.
1970 original spare, geen tint.

Hi bby,
The wheels on my mid-January built 71 had the silver paint without the greenish hue that Revi described.
Regards,
Alan

These are the original acrylic lacquer codes:
Ditzler/PPG DDL 8586
DuPont 9692L
Green tint Grass Green lacquer
Ditzler/PPG DE8586
DuPont 42153
R-M AT 114
Your automotive paint supplier might be able to match the color for the old codes above with new formula paint.
