What color white are factory rims? Anyone had wheels painted/coated at Les Schwab?
I took my 5 factory rims in yesterday to have the tires dismounted so that I could get them powder coated, or painted if I can't find a decent match.
The guy at the counter said they also offer that service, which saves me a bunch of trips back and forth with the tires and rims to the powder coater and then back to have them remounted, so... I figured let them try! Their "white" sample was predictably a little too white, so I gave them GM Code 521, Ditzler/PPG 2185, which is what my cab is. But then I realized I don't know if the truck wheels were actually painted the exactly same paint as the cab and stripe on my truck (508 DK BLUE & WHT). Are they supposed to be an exact match? Or are the whites different on a pure stock restoration?
