I'm getting ready to paint and mount the Rallye wheels on my 70 bee. Which paint did you use for your rims and center caps? My rear rims are sprayed with MP argent but they appear too light and the finish is flat/dull. I remember Rallye wheels being a glossy, medium Argent silver. Am I right? The fronts I bought from Wheel Vintiques and they are powder coated and look real nice but there's no way I can match the rears by getting them powder coated locally. The center caps from WV are nice but totally Incorrect color. Muddy grey with no argent look. I want the 1970 light argent look.
Help a brother out.
I’m listening.

Parts stores sell a"wheel paint" that looks pretty good/close for a driver,(maybe not for what you want). Hate to admit, but I regularly use rustoleum aluminum with a rattle can clear. Please don't hate me for this... Regards, Bear
I'm 55 now, no time to waste. Not a week goes by that I don't hear about someone passing on.Let's get out there,smoke some tires,have a beer with a good friend,do what you have always wanted to do.I am pretty sure no one will ever say on their deathbed "gee I'm glad my life was calm and boring"

Mopar Performance Wheel Paint P4529876 from Summit racing. This is what I used and is correct. Looks great.
I did a set with MP paint as well.....turned out great.

I also can't find anywhere that sells the Krylon Fusion Textured Shimmer #2521 or 2522. I fear it may have been discontinued. Google is your friend. Just type Krylon 2521. 3 or 4 places selling it online... Here is the page right off of Krylon's site. They only make the nickle shimmer #2338 now. If you can find it on a Google search please enlighten me because every link that "says" they have it diverts you to a different color, not the 2521. http://www.krylon.com/products/fusion-for-plastic-metallic-shimmer/Message that I just got from Krylon customer support: Hello, Thank you for contacting Krylon. We appreciate your inquiry. Unfortunately that particular product has been discontinued. I apologize for an inconvenience, please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. Regards, Lynn Krylon Product Support
