Advice on rattle can color match for Argent Silver
Picking up a set of Wheel Vintiques rallies, they are powder coated argent silver.
Anyone have advice on the best spray can color match? need to match my 15x8 fronts and I can't afford to get them powder coated to match. 99% of the time can cap color looks nothing like the finished product. Has anyone tried to match WV wheels before?

Look in an Eastwood catalog. They have OEM matches for wheels

Re: Advice on rattle can color match for Argent Silver
I have always used Duplicolor FM-149 in the small cans (or T-112 in the big cans) but I have heard they are changing their numbering scheme.

Eastwood. I ordered some from them but never used it since I never used the rallies.

Re: Advice on rattle can color match for Argent Silver
Do you recall the name of this color? Color looks perfect on your wheels, last paint I bought almost looked chrome. Thanks

Re: Advice on rattle can color match for Argent Silver
I think they might have changed the number, havent been able to find it anyways. Was it a wheel paint? Do you know the name of the color?

Re: Advice on rattle can color match for Argent Silver
Anyone use any of these paints? Duplicolor wheel paint WP101, it says it has a high metallic finish. VHT wheel paint SP188 Chevy Ralley Silver or SP186 Ford Silver? Thanks

It was not a wheel specific paint but body touch up for a Ford product. The noun name was Argent Silver. K
