Need the color code for factory white wheels! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Guys, I'm looking into buying tires for my old C20, and I'd like to have the wheels sanded and professionally painted back stock.

ANy idea what the code or name or color is on the white? Any help is greatly appreciated!

I'd go with code 12 white and call it good. Is the main white used on squares.

Hey Randy, thanks for the reply. What do I tell my painter, just 1985ish silverado "12 white"?

gm code 12. it's the common fleet white and was called
"FROST WHITE"
my 81 silverado was painted that color originally. Use that year/make/model if you want to tell them to search it that way. Though any paint jobber will know exactly what you seek if you tell em:
code 12, frost white
