Re: Color??????
The correct color name is argent. It's basically a silver with a very slight greenish tint to it. You can find the cans for sale on ebay, Eastwood, or sometimes your local automotive paint store. SEM used to make it in spray can form, not sure anymore. SEM products are the best, IMO.

Re: Color??????
Go to your local Case/International dealer and try there line of silver/argent paint. I have used the spray gun silver on my ralleys and they turned out really good. It seems to be pretty durable paint. Also used the spray can to paint small parts. The only downside is it not a high gloss finish.

Re: Color??????
I had rallys on my truck when I first got it. I took them off and prepped and painted them with Dupli-Color silver High Performance Wheel Coating part #WP 101 Silver. This color is almost an exact match. I mean it's so close that I couldn't tell the difference between it and the original silver that was on them. I clear coated them after I painted them and they looked really good. I changed them out for the American Racing wheels that I currently have on it. I still have my rallys out in my shed, and they may make their way back on some day. ...Joe

Re: Color??????
Use Krylon Dull Aluminum. It's a great match to factory color.
