I would like to repaint my Steel Wheels with a rattle can paint. What paint would match the GM white wheels?
Thanks,
Tim

Matching white is usually the tallest order you can give a painter.
I have duplicated off-whites by misting colors over a white base
coat until I feel I've got it right. Also, make sure your practice panels
are primed with the same primer that you have chosen for the wheels.

Good luck!

I used duplicolor white wheel paint.

It's Frost White,not a pure white like you find about anywhere. I always just paint them white,though,like above.
