What is paint code for 1968-9 rally wheels.

I feel like a jerk asking this but I have searched this forum for half an hour and I just can't find though I'm sure it's here.


'The web tells me it's RM A5278 but I have no place to buy RM and so far I haven't been able to cross into something I can mix.


The Fusick stuff 'looks' wrong to me. I thought the right color was more gray than silver and was dull. Also I thought it was two years only, the Fusick stuff I THINK says 68-70.


Sorry to bother again on this...wheels are sitting in my shop in primer waiting for paint and the car is sitting outside waiting for the wheels! Thanks Jim Ferron

You're right, it is:

Scroll through this thread and you'll find both DuPont and PPG codes. You'll also find several posts that claim the Fusick paint is a close match to original spare wheels in the trunk. Finally, Argent SSIIs were offered well into the 70s.

By the way, I am legally obligated to point out that you are talking about Super Stock wheels. THESE are "rally wheels".
