Default Paint Codes

G'day Everyone,
Got a question about paint codes for a 69 c3.
Can anyone tell me what the silver frost paint code is for the gill trims in the front fenders as well as the paint code for the grey rally wheels.

Thanks in advance,

Mark

I don't know a specific code # but the rally wheels were Argent Silver...they had a little green tint to them.

I read (somewhere) that the optional fender trim for the 69s used Argent Silver, same as the ralley wheels, without any green tint.

Mike's answer means using a rattle can is out. So what is, or where did you get a paint formula for Argent silver without the green tint?
