Default painting sills on au fairlane

my fairlane is white and i want to paint the sills and bottom edges of the bars. cant work out what colour to do it.!!!!! a friend at ford said to do it in argent which is the colour they painted the tl50's sills. i have the tl50 bar insert and i think it would look stupid body colour or a different colour on its own. thoughts please?

a nice DARK grey or a darker silver
look at the WH statesmans alot of them were 2 toned with a dark colour at the bottom of the doors and what ever other colour on the rest of the car

possibly post up a pic of exactly what your trying to paint..
is it just the front bar insert from the TL50 and the lip along the bottom edge of the stock bumper

the bar insert, sills, and the lower lips on the front and rear bars. i thought of grey but not sure whether to go light or dark. if i go dark it always makes the car look like it is sitting higher than it should.

Not true. As on white cars paint a light silver such as "Ford lightin strike" or the brown gold colour use on the AU Fairmont. It will blend nicly.
