<VV> Corsa Cove Color Code

[Frank DuVal]

Harry and Matt are right. Argent Silver was used for years in the GM 
line. In my 1970 GM PPG sheets it is listed as a wheel color.

PPG code originally was DQE-8568 for alkyd enamel. PPG ( Ditzler) 
suppliers used to stock this in premixed quarts.

Usually you just change the prefix to the type of paint you want, so a 
base coat urethane should be DBC-8568.

Acrylic lacquer if you could find it would be DDL-8568.

Argent means silver, but in '57, there was a Chevrolet color called 
Argent Silver, that is a dead ringer for the Corsa cove color.
