Is the Argent Silver from Mancinis the paint that is used both on rims and Grill (Satellite)?

Okay, so I need paint for my grill and tail lights. Who knows where to order from, part number and price for the correct paint. Another question, why does the mopar blue look so blue compared to the turqouis color on the original motor? Is that just because of heat and time?

Both blue and turquoise were used on mopar engines during different years. You may have the wrong paint! Here's an engine paint chart

Most of the guys with the 73-74's have the blue or turquoise colors.
