Over this winter I'm going to work at restoring my aunts t/a rallye wheels. Only question I have is, who has the most correct and accurate silver wheel paint?. Also were they rattle canned back in the day or gun? I will be replicating them as they were. The black I'm not worried about. I am going to copy them as they were/ are as they are all original currently but needing restored from being stored in a barn off the car. Thanks Ryan

PPG 3960 Silver Poly is supposed to be it?

Krylon Dull Aluminum 1403 gets brought up on here as being a great match against oem original silver wheel paint, and also it's relatively easy to find at any hardware store.

Does MP still sell it in spray cans? I still have a can or two of that stuff.

Looks like they still do, but how correct looking it is I don't know.

It looks good but is not correct.

The stuff I have is 20+ years old. Not sure if it's a different formulation or not. I think there is a red Cuda on the can.

The Krylon 1403 is a better match and less expensive.

For reference purposes, this wheel was painted with the MP paint.
