Silver painted bumper color?

Anyone know the correct or close to correct silver color the standard bumpers were painted? Probably goes back to the 60s as well. Thanks

Re: Silver painted bumper color?

I don't remember silver base level bumpers for squarebodies (other than the rear step bumper).

I remember them being white.

Nonetheless - the "go to" silver for any component is known as "argent silver", and is the same color as the rally wheels, grille background, etc.

Re: Silver painted bumper color?

I guess I was thinking rear step bumpers, which I thought came a silver color. What color were the step bumpers on the square bodies. .... white? Silver? I think they were silver on 67-72's....
