XPQC - Argent Effect (Wheel) Lincoln Touch Up Paint

The Look

This silver metallic was a specific choice for the 2007 Lincoln Town Car wheels, designed to provide a bright, clean contrast to the substantial body of the car. Silver wheels on a large luxury sedan create a balanced appearance that looks professional without being as maintenance-heavy as chrome. Since your Town Car has likely seen plenty of miles, this finish is practical because it does a decent job of hiding light brake dust while maintaining that classic brightness when parked in the garage or the shade.

Technical Details

This finish is a metallic, meaning it contains tiny flakes that give the paint its characteristic depth. Metallics are more sensitive than solid colors because those flakes need to lay down evenly to reflect light correctly. If you apply the paint too thick in one spot, the flakes will bunch up and create dark, muddy patches. To get a factory match, you need to ensure the metallic particles are distributed evenly so they do not settle at the bottom of the container or create streaks during the drying time.

Best Practices

Your paint code sticker is located on the driver side door jamb; look for the label marked EXT PNT to confirm your match. Before you spray or dab Lincoln Argent Effect (Wheel) (check for code XPQC), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This step is mandatory to wake up the metallic flakes that have settled since the paint was mixed. Always test the color on the included card before moving to the wheel itself. When applying, keep the container moving to ensure an even flow and a consistent finish across the repair area.
