Rally Wheel Paint
 

I know somebody on here knows the best spray paint (rattle can) that is used on the truck rally wheels. I am trying to redo mine and would like to know what every body uses and likes the best. Thanks

I used "Argent Silver" from Eastwood. It is a perfect match and comes out awesome. I also clear coated mine.

Re: Rally Wheel Paint
 

they make a specific spray for wheels and rim and it is argent i dont recall the brand but they sell it at virtually every chain auto parts ive ever been in

Re: Rally Wheel Paint
 

yea argent silver is the correct color code...alot of guys manage to use other silvers from various companies and still pull off the original look. Im currently waiting on a couple cans of argent silver and clear from eastwood at the moment, ill post pictures once my wheels are refinished.

Re: Rally Wheel Paint
 

I use Krylon Dull Aluminum, I think it looks better than Argent Silver. And it doesn`t flake or peel, and is cheaper.

Re: Rally Wheel Paint
 

I use Plasti-Kote wheel paint and the color is Steel Wheels #618. It is extremely durable and looks just like the factory Argent Silver.

Re: Rally Wheel Paint
 

Thanks to everyone, I always used argent for my other rallye wheels (the small bolt pattern,camaros,novas,etc.) but I didn't know it was the correct paint for the truck wheels. Thanks again

Re: Rally Wheel Paint
 

I can't find the FM149 paint code even on there web site, does it have a particular name or is it in a specific catagory. I like your color the best because its a brighter silver.

Re: Rally Wheel Paint
 

Just painted mine with this "Steel" color. off the truck, the color and finish look great. will post pics when all mounted up.

Re: Rally Wheel Paint

Re: Rally Wheel Paint
 

Truckfan, how has the rusto paint heald up after two yes? I am in the middle of the same process for my wheels and grille and trting to figure out what paint to use. Thanks for your input.

Re: Rally Wheel Paint
 

great. admittedly my truck is garaged and barely gets wet, but they look great. have done a couple of other wheel jobs on other vehicles and am using it as well

Re: Rally Wheel Paint
 

thanks for the reply. i had seen this paint at AZ but had not heard much about it from people restoring their wheels and then found your thread.

Re: Rally Wheel Paint
 

Nice truck there truck fan

Re: Rally Wheel Paint
 

I plan on doing my rims on 87 GMC same as these. What was the prep work? I plan on sanding smooth, then did anyone use primer? and then paint? Just want to do it right. These rims look great by the way.

Re: Rally Wheel Paint
 

I use red scotchbrite to prep the wheel (works better than sand paper) then wipe off spray argent silver. Little masking tape doesn't hurt.
