Hummer Light Argent Effect (Wheel) (6272) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is the quintessential silver that defined the final years of the H2. While many owners opted for the high-polish chrome, this argent finish was designed for the H2 drivers who wanted their truck to look like it could actually handle a trail. It is a clean, industrial silver that balances the massive presence of the vehicle without being overly flashy. Because your Hummer has likely seen its fair share of road salt or curb checks over the last decade and a half, this color is your best friend for restoring that rugged, heavy-duty aesthetic.

Technical Details

This finish is a traditional metallic, which means it relies on tiny flakes to catch the light. Metallics are notorious for mottling-where the silver looks blotchy or striped-if the application is uneven. When you are working on a curved wheel surface, these flakes want to settle in the valleys and thin out on the peaks. You have to be mindful of how the paint lands because those flakes determine the final shade. If they do not lay flat and uniform, the silver will look darker in some spots and lighter in others, which ruins the factory look.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Hummer Light Argent Effect (Wheel) (check for code 6272), you need to shake the container for at least a full minute to get those metallic flakes properly suspended. You can find your official paint code on the silver Service Parts Identification sticker located inside your glove box. To ensure the color is a perfect match for your specific wheels, always test the color on the included card before you touch the rim. While applying, keep the container moving in steady, overlapping passes and maintain a consistent spray distance to prevent the metallic from pooling. Give the paint plenty of drying time between light coats rather than trying to cover the damage in one heavy layer.
