Wow, speaking of no tone check, are you serious with this comment?

Edit: And if you did figure it out how about sharing the info doc sapentia

 

Sorry for that comment guys, was a little frustrated last week. Deleted this post as I do believe it was in bad taste. Lot's of good info on this site and will continue to contribute.

Anyone have a close up picture of a correctly painted wheel and the paint code and brand to match the wheel?

 

I have a complete set of 5 original wheels and the paint is pretty darn nice. I won't have a chance to get to the shop until next week sometime, but they are good to use as a source of what is correct. They are from a '72 and also have original trim that is near mint. If still needed, let me know and I'll do my best to get them out and take some detailed photos.

 

I have a pretty good wheel for referance but not sure who makes the best match. I was wanting to avoid going to have the paint store match it. I was hoping I could just buy some and go if there is a known correct make for the correct color.

 

When I painted the wheels on my '69, I used Fusicks, which came in an Eastwood labled can, at first I thought that it was too dark, but then I pulled my spare out of the trunk, it was spot on. That was a decade ago though, so it's hard to say if their paint still holds true.

 

this was my former 71 W-30. The argent grey of this car was never restored. As shown it is not dark nor is it a battle ship or dove gray. It has to my eyes a dull hue of pewter gray in them . Of course the factory received this paint in batches - so depending on the mix and if one tint was added too much or less of another you’ll get variations.

Argent Gray is RM A5278.

 

I am enjoying reprinting all of Judy's columns with much better pictures in the H/OCA magazine. This issue will complete the one on the roofs.

I should redo that one with the paint. I keep the text, and just get good pictures to go with.
