Grille and headlight bezel paint

I am needing to find a paint for my grille and headlight bezels. I have read that you shouldn't use the argent silver wheel paint. I am looking at Eastwoods and SEM paints but can not find what I should use. Has anyone used either of these companies paints for what I am needing. Any certain line of their paint. I am going to try and call them in the morning but would like to research it before hand if possible. Also is the Argent Silver the correct color for this application?

I used the Argent Silver. It wasn't bang on but I like it. Good glitter to it. Really freshens up the front. If your not 2" away in the sun, you will never notice it.

I used Argent silver from summit then cleared over it for my bezels and grill. Your prep work, or lack ther of, makes alot of difference.

Argent silver is the correct color.

I used Duplicolor FM149 (Ford argent silver), which I understand is going away.

It's not a wheel paint per se but it is what I use (or used, perhaps) on all my rally wheels.
