Rattle can paint match - med bronze?
Is there any real close/matching rattle can paint? My truck is a 71 with code 551 medium bronze.
I am getting some steelies and was considering painting them body color. What are your opinions on how this would look? Would white look best?

I'd go with white. Unless you get painted caps, then body color.

My local PPG jobber can mix anything and put it in a spray can. Seems like the last time I got some it was about 13-14 bucks a can. I hope this helps.

Re: Rattle can paint match - med bronze?
Ithink body color looks good. I'd go to your local auto paint supplier with your glovebox door and have a can mixed,if they can't find the code that is. My PPG supply changes about 1/2 what that website charges.
