So for those of us with no white on our trucks other than the wheels, what color white is that? I too would like to know.

Re: Wheel Paint Color

White is the color. The question is what "shade"of white. I don't know as a fact,but it's off white and I have used Frost White and no one ever commented that it looked wrong. Although,the judges probably didn't know any better.

Hey Special K, I noticed on another thread about "steelies" that I think you posted some pics of some newly painted (white) six or eight lug stock rims... they looked BEAUTIFUL!!! Is that the "Frost White" you speak of???

Re: Wheel Paint Color

Does anyone know what color this would be in Powdercoating? I am guessing just an off white or something like that. I was also thinking it should be satin or semi gloss?
