The VHT SP188 Ford Argent Silver Wheel Paint is an 11 oz aerosol formulated to match the factory Argent Silver shade used on Ford steel wheels and wheel covers. It's built for anyone restoring original-equipment wheels or refreshing daily-driver rims that have lost their finish to brake dust and road salt. The acrylic urethane polyurethane base lays down a gloss silver argent spray paint coat that resists oxidation, salt, sand, and rock damage. If you're matching a Ford rim color exactly rather than going custom, this is the can that pulls the wheel back to its original argent silver appearance.
VHT built this paint on an acrylic urethane polyurethane chemistry that cures to a hard, gloss finish able to handle the heat and abuse wheels see. It's rated to 250°F (121°C) intermittent per manufacturer specifications, and the cured film resists chipping, cracking, flaking, fading, and the brake dust and wheel chemicals that strip lesser coatings. The EZ Touch conical nozzle gives even fan control for the curved surfaces of a wheel face, and the paint dries to the touch in about 30 minutes and can be handled in roughly one hour. It bonds to aluminum wheels, steel wheels, wheel covers, and center caps. For a layered system, pair it with a compatible clear coat wheel paint once the color has cured.
Reach for this can when a Ford wheel needs its original silver back rather than a respray in a different shade. Prep matters more than the paint: scuff and clean the surface, then apply light coats and let each flash before the next. The result holds up to daily brake dust and the salt and sand that chew up wheel finishes through winter. We stock the matching darker tone in our standard Argent wheel paint, along with a full range of paints and finishing supplies for the rest of the job. Buyers chasing a complete restoration often add a silver wheel restore kit to start from a clean, sealed base.
Yes. The SP188 is formulated specifically to match Ford Argent Silver, the gloss silver shade used on factory Ford steel wheels and wheel covers. It's intended for restoring original-equipment color rather than producing a custom finish.
It bonds to aluminum wheels, steel wheels, wheel covers, and center caps. As with any wheel coating, clean and scuff the surface first so the acrylic urethane film adheres properly and resists chipping over time.
The paint dries to the touch in about 30 minutes and can be handled in roughly one hour per manufacturer specifications. Apply in light coats and allow each to flash before the next for the most even finish.
The cured finish is rated to 250°F (121°C) intermittent, covering normal wheel and brake-dust temperatures. It also resists the chemicals, salt, and sand that strip ordinary paint from wheels.
A clear coat isn't required since the SP188 dries to a gloss finish on its own, but adding a compatible wheel clear coat after the color cures adds an extra layer of protection against brake dust and chemicals.
